Welcome to our Haven Parishes here in the east of the Isle of Wight.
Please click on the above to view a map showing the Island's parish boundaries.
Whether you are a resident of the Isle of Wight, a visitor to the Island, or contemplating a future visit, we hope that our website will provide encouragement and inspiration for your journey - be it physical, spiritual - or both!
You will find here all that you need to know should you be contemplating a wedding or baptism. Remember, if you live in these parishes, or have a parent or grandparent living here or a strong connection, you can be married or have your christening in one of your beautiful churches.
We also provide pastoral support and a place for you to remember those who have died. Everyone living in these parishes may have a funeral in one of your churches and a permanent place of rest in one of the churchyards, and we will strive to help you prepare the service with a real sensitivity to the needs of your family.
