St Peter & St Paul, Mottistone, Isle of Wight 

This small church has elements dating from several periods. The nave arcades and the chancel are probably C15th, and in the chapel there is a Tudor arcade on columns. The base of the C13th font is Norman and of unusual design, being solid and almost square, with a pillar at each corner. The chancel has a red cedar ceiling, recycled from the cargo of a timber ship wrecked off this coast many years ago.

It was difficult getting a good picture of this church as the road is well below the level of the churchyard.
