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.

the
history
of
St
Blasius
