Background
History
Before a railway was constructed, a wagonette was the main method of transport. Afterwards, a stagecoach ran from Godshill to Freshwater, with a change of horses at Brighstone. Many of the houses on the village's main road were built for the workmen who were tunneling to Ventnor through the downs to construct the railway. There are 16 listed buildings in and around Wroxall.
