The Fleming Estate's property in and around Newport on the Isle of Wight Estates included a number of tenements and parcels of land. It comprised some 27 properties of the Newport Chantry, as well as several tenements that had been the property of John Fleming in the 16th century.

By 1817, only two physical parcels of land remained^[1]. Quitrents continued to be collected annually; in 1829, for instance, the quitrents for 43 properties were collected^[2]. The quitrents were sold by the Estate in 1859^[3]. In 1880, a lone tenement north of Pyle Street remained.

The properties

[This is a very incomplete list.]

• Combe, a close of 2.5 acres, with an additional 1.5 acres, in Blackwater^[4].
• Long Mead, a parcel of land of 1 acre, near Pollars Lane^[5].
• Bowdons Meadow, a parcel of land of over 1 acre, near Bones Mill^[6].
• Whiteley, a parcel of land of 5 acres, in Carisbrooke^[7].
• Pann Grounds in Whippingham parish.
