Shanklin Isle of Wight St. Blasius Old Parish Church

Welcome to St Blasius

A friendly, welcoming church in an 860 year old building in a delightful setting. Our services are traditional with an emphasis upon uplifting hymns led by our excellent organist and choir. A service of Matins takes place once a month. There is access for wheelchairs.
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. Information on the history of St Blasius can be found here.
