St Saviour-on-the-Cliff

An active Grade II listed Church of England church on Queen's Road in Shanklin, hosting worship and community gatherings.

St Saviour-on-the-Cliff is an active Church of England church on Queen's Road in Shanklin, used for worship and small community events. It forms part of the Benefice of the Good Shepherd, Lake and St Saviour on the Cliff, within the Diocese of Portsmouth. The parish publishes regular Sunday worship at 11am, plus a Wednesday morning Mass followed by coffee and study.

The church dates from 1867 and was designed by Isle of Wight architect Thomas Hellyer. Historic England lists St Saviour's at Grade II, with the designation covering the church and its church hall. That heritage gives the building a clear place in Shanklin's Victorian story. Today it remains a working parish where coffee mornings, raffles and charity gatherings form part of its community role.

Queen's Road places the church close to central Shanklin and the upper part of the town. If you are attending an event, check the organiser's notice for the correct entrance, accessibility arrangements and any payment details, as these can differ from normal service information. Shanklin Theatre is also in this part of town, which can help orient visitors arriving from the Old Village side. The benefice website carries current worship information and parish contacts; event-specific posters remain the best source for one-off fundraisers and coffee mornings.
