In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Alverstone like this:
ALVERSTON, an ancient manor in Brading parish, Isle of Wight; on the Yar river, 2 miles SW of Brading. Its Saxon proprietor, Tovi, was allowed to retain possession at the Conquest. A free chapel was founded on it by the Strangways, but has gone to ruin.
Alverstone is now part of ISLE OF WIGHT Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how ISLE OF WIGHT has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Alverstone itself, go to Statistics.
