St Mary the Virgin Church, Cowes

The first church on the site was built in 1657, during the Commonwealth of England.

[1] John Nash designed the west tower, which was added in 1816.

In 1867 the whole church except for the west tower was rebuilt to Gothic Revival designs by the architect Arthur Cates.

[3] The church has a two-manual organ, originally built by Henry Willis & Sons.

Its specification is on the National Pipe Organ Register.
