The house on the island was built in the 1830s

the island has a connection with the famous legend of England's last wolf being slain on nearby Humphrey Head in the 14th century. The island was given to the man who killed the wolf as a reward for his bravery.

there's a fake Roman temple called the Temple of Vesta. It's a replica of the temple near the Forum in Rome.
