 Described by the "Bournemouth Graphic" as a "most impressive ceremonial", the consecration marked the formation of Iford as a parish and St Saviour's as the parish church.St Saviour's is built of multi-coloured bricks, with the interior walls rendered in plaster and the roof of tiles and asphalt.It was designed to seat 462 persons and made up of a nave, north and south aisle, chancel, Lady chapel, organ chamber, choir vestry, clergy vestry, warden's room and two west porches.
