Background
History
The church is medieval, dating from the 12th century, by Brian de Insula, lord of Mottistone Manor. Much of the current building is from the 15th. The Cheke chapel was added in the 16th century, The Cedrene was just 16 days old when it wrecked on the shores of the Back of the Wight. A Victorian restoration was carried out in 1863, which included the reconstruction of window tracery, nave arches and piers, roofs and walls. The parish is part of the West Wight benefice within the Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth.
Architecture
The stone building has a tile roof and shingle spire. It consists of a nave with aisles, chancel, north chapel and south porch. The west tower has a crenellated parapet and spire. In 1948 John Seely, 2nd Baron Mottistone commissioned the parclose screen in the Cheke chapel in memory of his father General J. E. B. Seely, 1st Baron Mottistone.
