Mottistone, St Peter & St Paul Church Isle of wight One of the most interesting features of the church is one of the most recent. In 1948 John Seely erected the parclose screen in memory of his father, General Jack Seely the first Lord Mottistone. The younger Seely was Surveyor to the Fabric of St Paul's Cathedral in London, but his first architectural commission was to rebuild Mottistone Manor for his father. John himself and his wife Evelyn are remembered by an inscription in the south porch. The finest historical memorial in the church is that of Jane Dillington (nee Freake), who died in 1674. Dillington purchased the Mottistone estate from the Cheke family in 1621. #feature #isleofwight #churches #general #jack #journey #travel #church #history #placestovisit #places #instagram #stpaulscathedral #architecture #hub #instagram #travelphoto #phototravel #churchofengland #england #greatbritain #unitedkingdom #history #nationaltrust #architecturelovers #travelphotography #travelblogger
