Historic though not as old as many parish churches and atmospheric. Church well-kept - but large churchyard mainly wild and overgrown, preventing a proper exploration of the gravestones . Still, worth making the trek to the far corner of the parish.

Șt. Helen’s Church , Eddington Rd. Seaview , PO34 5EF, Isle of Wight, is a parish church , Diocese of Portsmouth.  The original church was founded after the Norman Conquest by Benedictine monks. The church was dedicated to St Helena  or Helena Augusta , the important figure in the history of Christianity  The old church  and the Benedictine priory was dissolved in 1414 . The new church was build in 1717 in a stone structure with brick  dressing , transepts and west tower with one .    In 1864  an organ by Gray & Davison was added  and there is a mural tablet to Sir Nash Grose  1740-1814 and his son Edward. He died at his seat, the Priory, in the Isle of Wight.

Beautiful, calm, peaceful church.

Lovely church.  As a new arrival in the area,  I've been made very welcome and will be attending when I'm next down here. Thank you.

Nice little church for a bit of peace and quiet and reflection - interesting churchyard.
