 | | Records show that Northwood paid tithes to the value of 30 marks to the mother church at Carisbrooke (Tithes were taxes of one tenth of the annual produce of land or labour taken for the support of the clergy and church). |
 | | In 1264, in a confirmation by Isabella de Fortibus, Lady of the Island, to the Prior of Carisbrooke, Northwood now existed as one of the four chapels of Carisbrooke, the others being Newport, Shorwell and Madaderia (Madaderia was a leper chapel of St. Augustine at Gunville). |
 | | Kelly's Directory of the Isle of Wight (1886) states that the living of Northwood was a chapelry, annexed to Carisbrooke, with a joint yearly value of £1,162 and 53 acres of glebe in the gift of Queen's College, Oxford, held since 1858 by the Rev. Charles Boucher James MA of Queen's College. |
