Christ Church Sandown
Church yard
The churchyard is a closed churchyard maintained by the Isle of Wight Council. The church has registers which show who is buried where. If you are looking for a particular grave, we would need to consult the burial register for which a fee set centrally by the Church of England applies. An interesting feature of the graveyard is that it contains a memorial to the wreck of HMS Eurydice which featured in Gerard Manley Hopkins poem of the same name.
