Anyone interested in Dennett will find an article about him, taken from
unpublished research by a local historian, on the Isle of Wight History
(i.e. the Isle of Wight Industrial Archaeology Society's) website. The page
reference is

The site contains a number of useful links and articles on Island history,
also a Timeline of Island history
