Upper Itchen Benefice

The Upper Itchen Benefice sits astride the A272 a few miles to the east of Winchester and twelve miles to the west of Petersfield. The benefice is within the Deanery of Alresford and the Diocese of Winchester and consists of the six parishes of Beauworth, Bramdean, Cheriton, Hinton Ampner, Kilmeston and Tichborne. It is within an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty in the South Downs National Park.

There are several services each month held across the Benefice which offer both traditional and contemporary styles of worship. We are indeed a broad church, but we have a unified desire to fill our churches and to develop our Christian faith with guidance and leadership from our Rector, Revd. Christopher Durrant.
