INN AT ST LAWRENCE

St Lawrence
Charming village not two miles from Ventnor. Best known perhaps for what you can't see from the road. The home of the Twining - of tea fame family, Spindlier, the German millionaire who endeavoured to build a model village beginning with a harbour which soon fell victim to the sea. The huge Carfax Pension, which served for many years as the nearest Hotel to the Royal Hospital, now the Botanical Gardens and in the new church, may be seen many of the stained glass windows that once belonged to the Hospital.
