"SHALFLEET, a parish in the liberty of West Medina, Isle of Wight, county Hants, 3½ miles S.E. of Yarmouth, its post town, and 5 W. of Newport. The parish, which is of large extent, occupies the northern portion of the island, extending from Yarmouth to Newton Bay. The village, which is chiefly agricultural, is situated on a creek of the Solent, formed by the navigable river Newton, and in the bay is a quay accessible to ships of considerable burden. This place is mentioned in Domesday Survey as having belonged to Gosselin Fitz Azor. The parish includes the hamlet of Mingwood. A stream abounding with trout flows through the parish. There are quarries of good building-stone at Dodpits. "
