Following the Field of Remembrance Service, visitors are invited to view the new World War II Memorial in the Church of St Nicholas. The memorial, with the names of all those from the Isle of Wight who died during World War II, sits alongside the existing memorial of those from the Island who died during World War I. The project started in 2018 and has been funded by a number of endowments and charities.
