Cheriton

Come and see our glasswork of St. Michael, Archangel, our spiritual patron!

Almighty God,
By Your holy angels Your holy will is done,
both here on earth and in the heavens above;
We give You thanks for this majestic glasswork of our
Patron Saint and Archangel, Michael.
And we seek Your blessing on the works of our hands:
May we, and all who devoutly gaze upon this icon,
Be strengthened in faith and sustained in courage,
To believe Good will triumph over Evil,
And life everlasting overcomes all forces of death.
Through the passion, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ Our Lord.                               Amen.  

Cheriton Church

St Michael and All Angel’s was built during the 1100’s. It is situated on a small hill, almost certainly a prehistoric burial ground. The Church is the largest in the benefice with a seating capacity in excess of 200. There are 49 people on the Parish electoral roll and the regular congregation at Sunday communion averages 25 people, mainly adults. The broader congregation encompasses all ages including young families, the early retired and the elderly. St Michael’s has a peel of 6 bells, attracting bell-ringing groups from around Hampshire.

The fabric of the church, a Grade 1 listed building, is in good condition.  In 2018 an audio-visual system was installed. A wide range of volunteers help to maintain the church and churchyard. 

Our services are a mix of traditional and contemporary worship, including the The Book of Common Prayer and agricultural festivals.  We have a small dedicated choir.

The church hosts the Cheriton Talks which have become an established event in the local calendar. The schedule for the Cheriton Talks 2024 and booking information can be found on the Cheriton Talks website: Cheriton Talks
