Bedhampton Churches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some include St Josephs R.C. Church here (because of its proximity to Bedhampton railway station) but most do not[1].

There has been a church in Bedhampton since 1086[2]. The present parish church, St Thomas The Apostle [3], situated in Old Bedhampton, dates from the 12th century [4]. In 1953 a church centre was built, and dedicated to St Nicholas. There are also a Methodist church, a modern building in Hulbert Road replacing an earlier primitive chapel by the station, and a Gospel Hall, built between 1901 and 19022 with funds provided by local benefactress Miss Meiklam [5], within the parish boundary.
