Top 5 Sacred & Religious Sites in Isle of Wight, England
The Isle of Wight is the perfect place to enjoy some peace, quiet and natural beauty. Except perhaps in the summer, when the Isle of Wight Festival draws visitors from all over the world. In 1970, the Festival was the largest rock-music event ever held. It was called Britain's Woodstock and featured Jimi Hendrix and The Who. (Not so much peace or quiet that week.) The island is also known for its world-famous sailing and lovely resorts, where people have been vacationing since Victorian times.

Interesting church. Interior worth a look and there is plenty of information about the church and the local families. Pleasant walk to the church from the village via some steps or follow the road.

Lovely walk around, free parking enjoyed feeding the pigs - great fun! Farm shop was also full of some great gifts or even things for lunch to take home. (Homegrown veg, local IOW produce, freshly baked foccacia). Would visit again and visit the tea garden on a sunny day.

There must have been a church here for ages as the burial ground is large. The building dates to Saxon times and is mentioned in the Doomsday record. Parts are old but it was altered by the Victorians. There are memorials to the poet Tennyson & his family in the church. His wife and family members are buried in the churchyard.
