St Agnes' Church, Freshwater is a parish church in the Church of England located in Freshwater, Isle of Wight.
The church dates from 1908 and is by the architect Isaac Jones, who lived from 7 November 1850 until 25 November 1917.[1]
Hallam Tennyson, 2nd Baron Tennyson donated land for a new church in Freshwater Bay. Hallam's wife Audrey Tennyson suggested that the church be named for St Agnes. St Agnes Church was consecrated 12 August 1908.[2] It is the only thatched church on the Isle of Wight.[3] [4] [5]
The stone used to build the Church came from an old and derelict farm house on Hooke Hill, Freshwater, and the date stone 1622 [sic] was incorporated into the vestry wall, thus rather misleading those who may think the Church belonged to the 17th century".[6]
The church is in a united parish with All Saints' Church, Freshwater.
A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
