"CHALE, a parish in the liberty of West Medina, Isle of Wight, in the county of Southampton, 7 miles from Newport, 10 from Brading, and 20 from the Gosport station of the London and South-Western line. Chale is one of the most picturesque spots in the island, with its grey old church standing near the verge of a precipice, and overlooking a snug cove, known to sailors as Chale Bay, delightful in its aspect, but too often fatally dangerous to the shipping along the coast." [Description(s) from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) - Transcribed by Colin Hinson (c)2003]
You can also perform a more selective search for churches in the area that are recorded in the GENUKI church database. This will also help identify churches in nearby townships and/or parishes. You also have the option to see the location of the churches marked marked on a map.
If you keep this page loaded for a very long time and the database is updated since loading it, the church links above may become stale and may display the wrong church. If this happens, reloading this page will correct them.
Ask for the gazetteer for a calculation of the distance from Chale to another place.
