Often visited for its wall paintings, but I prefer Shorwell church which also has wall paintings. Newchurch is also more interesting from a historic point of view to me. More

We went to Godshill for a cream tea as you do if you visit the Isle of Wight and took a walk up to the little church via the beautiful thatched cottages and when we arrived there was an open day with whistle stop tours around the church, it was very informative and funny ending with a free cup of...
