Church of St Saviour-on-the-Cliff, Shanklin

The first phase comprising the Nave, Chancel, Vestry, and Organ Chamber was completed at a cost of £2,789.

The true glory of St Saviour's can be seen on the interior, which has been richly and generously furnished over the years.

The full scale of Hellyer's church in the Early English style can be appreciated by standing at the entrance to the Galilee Porch and looking towards the High Altar.

In 1883 the Vicar, the Revd Charles I Burland, announced that it was proposed to complete St Saviours by the addition of "a heaven-pointing Tower with its suitable furniture of pealing bells" By early 1887 the tower and spire were completed and the peal of eight bells was installed the following year.

No less than 56 bags of pigeon guano were removed from the tower, and it was obvious that if the bells were to have a long-term future, a lot of hard work would have to be done.

After 8 years of tireless fundraising, the bells were taken out of the tower to be restored with brand new headstocks, stays, wheels, clappers, pulleys and ball but hung in original frame.
