The Parish of Newport and Carisbrooke sits at the centre, the heart, of the Isle of Wight and includes the county town of Newport. There are three parish churches - St Mary's Carisbrooke, St John's Newport and Newport Minster. The parish of St Olave's Gatcombe is part of the wider benefice.
We are the “Church on the Hill” serving God’s people in Carisbrooke. We are a “middle of the road” Anglican church with regular Sunday Services. Everyone is welome.
We are part of the newly formed parish of Newport and Carisbooke with Gatcombe which is comprised of Newport Minster, St John’s, St Mary,s, St Nicholas in Castro and St Olave’s Gatcombe. The parish is part of the Deanery of the Isle of Wight in the Diocese of Portsmouth.
St Nicholas in Castro is now part of the newly formed parish of Newport and Carisbrooke with Gatcombe.
St Nicholas is a chapel situated within the grounds of Carisbrooke Castle and is cared for by English Heritage who oversee Carisbrooke Castle. It is open to the public whenever the Castle is open. The chapel no longer has a defined catchment area but services are held several times a year bythe congregation of St Mary’s Carisbrooke. Each year it is visited by many people seeking connections with their ancestors.
