All Saints' Church, Calbourne

All Saints’ Church stands in the quiet village of Calbourne on the Isle of Wight. The building is medieval, with a tower rebuilt in 1752 after earlier damage. Two Commonwealth war graves from the First World War lie in the churchyard. The church is grouped with Holy Spirit Church in nearby Newtown. A small one-manual organ from 1873 by Forster and Andrews stands inside. The church is worth visiting for its long history and simple beauty. Its medieval core survives beneath later changes. The 1752 tower shows how the building was adapted over time. The war graves recall local lives lost in the First World War. The Forster and Andrews organ adds musical interest. Inside, the nave and chancel show plain medieval work. The 1873 organ occupies a modest position. The war graves are marked with standard Commonwealth headstones. The grouping with Newtown’s church links two rural parishes. Outside, the churchyard and village offer peaceful views.
