St Swithin's Church, Thorley, Isle of Wight
Heritage Open Day: Grade 11 Listed Church St Swithin's, Thorley, is a distinctive Victorian parish church built in 1871 to serve the village more conveniently than the older medieval church near Thorley Manor. Designed by W. J. Stratton and consecrated on 9 December 1871, it was built in a late 13th-century Gothic manner and incorporates several important fittings from the earlier church, including the font, a 17th-century altar table, and two remarkable 13th-century bells now hung in its open bell tower. The present building consists of a nave, chancel, transepts, and an unusual twin-bellcote tower that gives it a striking silhouette.
