Bonchurch Pond 1859

As seen in T Nelson’s Hand Book For Tourists & Description of the Geology of the Isle of Wight Circa 1859.

The pond is a beautifully transparent sheet of water with a setting of umbrageous elms which overhang its sides and are reflected from its surface. A rich variety of trees clothe the steep bank on the other side, from which the eye is carried up to St. Boniface Down which rises in mountainous grandeur above all else.
