I am delighted to welcome you to the new website of the C of E parish of North Stoneham & Bassett, Southampton, in the Diocese of Winchester. The parish has three churches each offering a distinctive style of worship and liturgy, but the spirituality of each is centred on the Eucharist.

St Nicolas, North Stoneham is the ancient historic parish church, with a fine peal of bells and with a traditional 'country church' feel about it. The building is extremely popular as a venue for Baptisms and Weddings and the friendly congregation offer a warm welcome to all at its 10.30am Sunday Eucharist.

St Michael & All Angels, Bassett Avenue, was consecrated in 1911. It has a beautiful rood screen within and striking stained glass windows of the Archangel Michael. It has one of the finest adult choirs in Southampton with a wide musical repertoire. We also have a lively junior choir which welcomes enthusiastic young singers and gives them a thorough musical training. Our Sunday Eucharist is at 10.00am, with a well attended 'All Age' worship on the first Sunday of every month and a Choral Eucharist on the fourth Sunday. We also have a traditional Choral Evensong on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 6.30pm. All the services are congregational friendly and we extend an especial welcome young families, visitors and students from Southampton University. The ethos of the worship at St Michael's is joyful and dignified within a broad catholic tradition, offering superb liturgy, silence and the beauty of music as key components of its spirituality.

All Saints, Pointout Road, was built as a mission church. It is very much a 'community church' which has well thought out 'themed services' to attract young and old alike and a less formal 10.00am Sunday Eucharist with lovely hymns.

I warmly invite you to explore the website in greater detail and discover the rich history of our churches and the vibrant activities, both social and liturgical, that we offer.
