"RYDE, a chapelry, post and market town, in the parish of Newchurch, liberty of East Medina, Isle of Wight, county Hants, 5 miles S.W. of Portsmouth, 7 N.E. of Newport, and 79 S.W. of London. It is situated on the declivity of a hill extending to the shores of the Solent Water, and opposite to Stokes Bay and Portsmouth Harbour. It is a sub-port to Cowes, and is a coastguard station. It was anciently called La Rye, or Ride, and was burnt by the French in 1377. Less than a century back Ryde was but a small fishing village, but within the last 50 years it has rapidly risen into a thriving and prosperous town, and now ranks as one of the most pleasant bathing places on the S. coast. "
