*************

Gatcombe is a village and civil parish^[1] on the Isle of Wight. It is located four kilometres from Newport in the centre of the island. St. Olave's Church, Gatcombe was dedicated in 1292, serving as chapel to Gatcombe House. The Gatcombe parish was established in 1560.

A carved wooden effigy of Edward Estur, a local knight who fought in the Crusades, is in the church.

In 1907, a contract was signed that ensured that properties older than 1907 in Gatcombe and nearby Chillerton would receive free water, while newer homes receive it at a reduced rate. In 2009 Southern Water proposed that everyone to pay the same rate, claiming that the reasoning behind the initial pact is now invalid, as the costs for the original project have since been paid off.^[2]

Public transport is provided by Southern Vectis bus route 6, which runs between Newport and Ventnor.^[3]

St. Olave's Church, Gatcombe is a parish church in the Church of England located in Gatcombe, Isle of Wight.

Building began on the site in the 13th century and the church was dedicated in 1292. It originally served the Estur family as a chapel to Gatcombe House. The manor later passed into the hands of the Worsley family who provided the church with both financial support and a number of Rectors.

The tower contains three bells which are hung dead.^[1]

The church is noted for its stained glass by William Morris dating from 1865 and 1866.
