Northwood, Isle of Wight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Northwood Village is a village on the Isle of Wight. It lies south of the town of Cowes and has been occupied for about 1000 years, according to Churchwarden Anne Brooker.[1] St. John the Baptist Church in Northwood was first built between the 11th and 13th centuries.

There is a primary school in Northwood which was first begun in 1855. Until 1990 it still featured an outside toilet.

The main form of transport is Southern Vectis bus route 1, which runs every 6 minutes in the daytime to Cowes and Newport, with 24 hour buses on Fridays and Saturdays. Local services 27/28 also serve the village.[2]
