St.
Blasius
Church
is
part
of
the
Isle
of
Wight
Deanery
of
the
Diocese
of
Portsmouth
and
is
one
of
the
churches
on
the
Isle
of
Wight
and
was
only
established
in
1853.
The
church
itself
was
built
during
the
reign
of
King
Stephen,
so
is
over
850
years
old,
but
for
much
of
its
history
was
the
family chapel for Shanklin Manor.
As
Shanklin
began
to
grow
in
Victorian
times
the
Lord
of
the
manor
gave
the
church
to
the
town
as
the
parish
church
for
the
Old
Village
and
the
new
development
to
the
north.
As
the
town
grew
and
spread
towards
Sandown
in
the
north,
two
new
parishes
were
formed,
St.
Paul’s
near
the
station
and
St.
Saviour’s
on
the
cliff.
Being
on
the
southern
extreme
of
the
town,
St.
Blasius
church
has remained in many ways a country church.

With its picturesque surroundings,
St Blasius makes the ideal
setting for your wedding.

We extend a warm welcome to

St. Blasius C of E Primary Academy
Friendship, Wisdom & Endurance
Shanklin
Church
of
England

School

of
the
town,
and
welcomes
children
from
families
of
all
faiths, and none.

OPENING OF CHURCHES FOR
SUPERVISED PERSONAL
PRAYER AND FUNERALS.
The Government is allowing places of
worship to open from Monday 15th June, for
supervised personal prayer
and funeral services.
This will be greatly appreciated by many,
at this time of suffering and uncertainty.
However, the opening of Churches is
dependent upon each Church being able to
fulfil all the necessary safety requirements
following a full Risk Assessment.
Having reviewed the guidance received from
the Diocese and consulted with Church
Wardens and others, it is very much
regretted that we will not be able to open
St Blasius Church at the present time, either
for personal prayer or funeral services.
It is a great sadness that our Church
needs to remain closed at the present time,
but we are blessed with a beautiful
churchyard where you are welcome
to walk and sit and find time and space for
personal contemplation and prayer.
You are very welcome to join us online,
via our website, for
prayer and worship every Sunday.
We will ensure that you are kept up to date
as the situation changes and develops.
