"CHALE, a parish in the liberty of West Medina, Isle of Wight, in the county of Southampton, 7 miles from Newport, 10 from Brading, and 20 from the Gosport station of the London and South-Western line. Chale is one of the most picturesque spots in the island, with its grey old church standing near the verge of a precipice, and overlooking a snug cove, known to sailors as Chale Bay, delightful in its aspect, but too often fatally dangerous to the shipping along the coast. "
