Yarmouth is a town, port and civil parish located in the Isle of Wight, England. Yarmouth Pier was opened in 1876. It received Grade 2 listed status in 1975. Originally 685 ft long, it's now 609 ft but is still the longest timber pier in England and is open to the public. In St. James's Church there is a monument to the 17th century admiral Sir Robert Holmes who was at Yarmouth. He obtained it in a raid on a French ship, when he seized an unfinished statue of Louis XIV of France and forced the sculptor to finish it with his own head rather than the king's.
