The church dates from 1875 and was designed by the architects Habershon and Pite.

This was re-erected on Totland beach where it served as a village reading room and library and subsequently as an annex to the Totland Bay hotel.

The current church was finished and consecrated in 1875.

It is not in alignment with the church (as is normal with such structures) as it was built with the assumption there would be a further extension to the church (which was never built) to bring it into alignment.

The pipe organ dates from 1911 by the builder Norman and Beard.
