"FRESHWATER, a parish in the liberty of West Medina, Isle of Wight, county Hants, 2 miles S.W. of Yarmouth, its post town, and 10 W. of Newport.' It is situated at the western extremity of the island, and nearly separated from it by an inlet of the sea, known as Freshwater Gate, and by the river Yar; it is united on the southern side only by a narrow isthmus. The parish includes the hamlets of Easton, Middleton, Norton, and Weston. The varied features of this place render it an attractive spot." [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.
