In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Apley like this:
APLEY, a seat on the edge of a wooded sea-cliff, ¾ of a mile E of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. It was built, in the early part of last century, by the noted smuggler, David Boyce; and it occupies one of the most enchanting spots in the island.
