Cowes, Ryde, Sandown, &c., Newport is a flourishing
and attractive town, with an endowed grammar school
(1612) and an endowed school for girls (1761). Its
central position makes it the headquarters of large
numbers of visitors, bent upon touring through the
island. The supplies required by visitors, and by the
surrounding rural districts, constitute most of the trade.
Timber, malt, corn, and flour are exported; and in-
dustries exist in the mfr. of lace, brushes, and mats.
Communication with the mainland is easy, e.g., by rail

and Southampton. Newport returned 2 members to

cester, son of Henry I.; the remains of the building
now form part of a brewery. In 1839 Newport was the

and the slapping trade of the port is active. (For
shipping statistics, see Appendix.) Shipbuilding, iron-
founding, steam engine and boiler mfrs., railway plant
. works, chain cable and anchor works, chemical works,
and agricultural implement mfrs., are the chief local
employments. The great trade of the place is the
