CHURCH INFORMATION
Built between 1836 and 1838 this is now the main church of the Isles of Scilly. It was designed and built by Augustus Smith who was at this period the Lord Protector of the Islands. One of the conditions of the lease undertaken by Augustus was that not only should he build a church but he must also pay the Chaplain of the Isles. His design is quite unusual described in the church literature as having a 19th century Gothic Revival structure with other earlier design influences such as the inward facing collegiate style seats and a full west gallery. The East window by C. E. Kempe is a memorial to the victims of the S. S. Schiller. It was given by the peoples of Germany. The West window commemorates the 1937 Coronation of King George Sixth as was constructed by A. L. Ward. The North windows are memorials to life boatmen and lighthouse keepers and were completed in 1967. The St Christopher was made by a local artist by the name of Oriel Hicks. The St Elizabeth of Hungary window is said to be the only window with such a dedication in Great Britain. Other notable objects are the Willis organ and a gilded wooden Lion above the West door which is said to have come from the Association, flag ship of Sir Cloudesley Shovell wrecked on the Outer Gilstone, Western Rocks on the 24th October, 1707.
