In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lemerston like this:
LEMERSTON, a hamlet in the SW of the Isle of Wight; 1 mile E of Brixton. An ancient chapel stood here, and was served by three priests. Lemerston Down rises immediately to the N; is continuous with Brixton Down on the W; and has, on its summit, vestiges of an ancient British village.
Lemerston 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 Lemerston itself, go to Statistics.
