Wight Mouse Inn, Chale, Isle of Wight

Geschichte

The Wight Mouse Inn and Clarendon Hotel was named after the shipwreck of the Clarendon which sank in Chale Bay in 1836 claiming 25 lives. Some of the timbers from the wreck were incorporated into the hotel and it was a popular destination for the upper classes in Victorian times.

The Isle of Wight coast was notorious for shipwrecks and the after the sinking of the Clarendon and much public pressure, a lighthouse was built on St Catherine’s Down. Unfortunately, the officials who were from mainland England had not taken into account the fogs which roll in from the sea and obscure the top of the down and after further shipwrecks, a second lighthouse which is still in use was built at the foot of the cliffs.
