You may remember from the last post that Newtown, whilst now a quiet backwater, literally, was, during the medieval period, a bustling busy town. The Church of the Holy Spirit was built later in 1835, but on the site of the Medieval chapel. It’s architect was Augustus Frederick Livesay, who lived just over on the mainland in Portsmouth, but trained in Caen. Famous architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described him as a ‘a sensitive architect’ and the church as ‘the finest early nineteenth century church on the Island’. More about Pevsner in the summer.
