The church was built in 1827 on Lind Street, as only the second
Church of England building in
Ryde. It was commissioned by W. Hughes, with his brother Revd. Augustus Hewitt serving as the inaugural minister. Both brothers left in 1830, with Hughes being elected to Parliament as
M.P. for
Oxford. Revd. Richard Waldo Sibthorp, a Fellow of
Magdalen College, Oxford, purchased the chapel and ministered to its congregation until 1841. From then, it was passed on several times, before in 1903 it was transferred to a group of five trustees, which holds it to this day. Since 1904 it has been part of the
Church Society group of churches. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. ==Present Day==
