1 Roofing, Masonry Repairs, and Internal Repairs at Newport Minster, Isle of Wight Newport Minster is the principal church of the Isle of Wight, a Grade I listed building which serves the island community and some 30,000 visitors each year. It provides a place of quiet reflection and a demonstration of the islands heritage. The church’s origins lie in the 12 th C origins, it was rebuilt in the 1850s, and was dedicated as a minster in 2008. In 2017 HLF funding enabled a fifth phase 5 of repair works which included: ROOFING - re-slating and renewal of leadwork on the roofs to the east and south east corner of the church, the Horsey Chapel and South Chancel. Many original slates were beyond repair and new slates and ridge tiles matching the originals were sourced and fitted.
