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.
