MenuSt Catherine's Oratory, Hampshire
St Catherine's Oratory is a mediæval lighthouse on St Catherine's Down, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. It was built by Lord of Chale Walter de Godeton as an act of penance for plundering wine from the wreck of St Marie of Bayonne in Chale Bay on 20 April 1313. There was already an oratory on the hill, dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria. This was augmented by the construction of the lighthouse, with a chantry to accommodate the priest who tended the light. It remained in active use until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The monument is within the council area of Isle of Wight.
