Arreton is one of the original seven parishes on the Island, and is the only Island church dedicated to St George.
As early as 1553 Arreton posessed four bells, one of which was a sanctus bell cast by John Tonne of Sussex in about 1530 and still survives today.
In 1896 two bells were cast by Carr of Smethwick and in 1951 Charles Yates of Arreton Manor paid for the Whitechapel Bell Foundry to cast a sixth bell and rehang the existing bells.
In 1086, Arreton Manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book, that noted, "King Edward held it," adding, "the whole Manor in King Edward's time worth ten pounds, and afterwards and now eight pounds," which goes to show that property slumps are not new.
The manor was endowed to the Convent of Quarr in 1156, and was farmed by the Abbot's steward, but was snatched back by Henry VIII around 1536 during his dissolution of the monasteries.
