Worship, grounded in liturgy and music is at the heart of St Michael’s. We run a range of services on Sundays and throughout the week with a variety of styles.
We have one of the finest parish choirs in the area which helps to lead and enhance the worship.
On Sundays there is a said Book of Common Prayer Communion service at 8am (1st and 3rd Sundays of the month) with sung or choral Eucharist or Morning Praise at 10am. A children’s group meets during the 10am service in term time except for the first Sunday of the month when all ages worship together.
The beautiful service of choral evensong makes for sublime Sunday evenings twice a month at 6.30pm (except in August)
Our monthly Taizé services on the last Friday of the month finish with soup and light refreshments.
We hold a coffee morning open to everyone in the parish hall on Wednesday mornings.
St Michael’s has a long tradion of music and choirs, dating back to its dedication in 1898.
Today the choir sings at most Sunday services as well as at major feasts and festivals, enhancing our worship by leading the congregation in hymns, anthems, and service settings, while singing a wide range of choral music.
Our junior choir has some separate activities and also receives music teaching following the RSCM’s Voice for Life training programme.
Founded on 29 September 1897 (Michaelmas), St Michael & All Angels’ Church began with land gifted by John Fleming of North Stoneham and a foundation stone laid by his wife, Violet. Built in two stages between 1898 and 1910, the church was consecrated in 1911, marking its place at the heart of the Bassett community.
Through the 20th century, the church grew and evolved — a rood screen memorial (1921), extensions for parish use (1934–37), and beautiful stained-glass windows by Frances Owen Salisbury and others. Its Rushworth & Dreaper organ (1937) remains a notable feature, lovingly restored in 2010.
Later additions include a new Rectory (1946) and St Michael’s Hall (1956), reinforcing the church’s enduring role as both a place of worship and community life.
All Saints is a house of prayer and a place of hospitality – providing times to worship, reflect, learn and meet. We love our local community and want to be a blessing to it.
We offer times to worship, pray and relect as well as times to meet, eat and enjoy life together. You are assured of a friendly welcome at all of our events. We look forward to meeting you.
Each Sunday, we meet at All Saints for a service of worship is at 10am (except on the first Sunday of the month). Worship consists of liturgy and music, reflections and prayers and seeks to make connections with our faith, the Scriptures and our daily life.
We want to be a blessing to our neighbours and to be at the heart of our community.
On the first Sunday of the month, we invite the community for a home-cooked lunch. All are welcome for great food and good company.
On Saturday mornings, we hold Coffee Call-in, a chance for everyone to come for coffee and a chat, and Monday Company on two afternoons a month is a place for friendship and fun as well as tea and cake.
The story of All Saints’ begins in the late 19th century, when a small mission room operated from a coach house on Winchester Road. By 1891, a new prefabricated iron mission church was dedicated, followed in 1905 by a hall for community use. In 1946, the mission church was named All Saints’.
After the old parish hall burned down in 1952, plans were made for a new centre on the same site. Completed in 1969 and dedicated the following year, the All Saints’ Church Centre incorporated stained glass from the earlier building and continues to serve both worshippers and the local community today.
Known locally as the ‘one hand clock’ church, this ancient and iconic church building is located right next to the new North Stoneham Park development and opposite Eastleigh Football Club. We are committed to playing a full part in our local community and we hold a monthly cafe church in the YMCA Community Centre on North Stoneham Park.
The church itself dates from the 13th century and has a fascinating history… find out more

St Nicolas’ Church has been a place of worship for centuries, standing on land first granted by King Athelstan in 932 AD and linked to the medieval manor of North Stoneham.
A church was recorded here in the Domesday Book (1086), with the present stone building dating from the 1230s. Over the centuries it has grown and evolved — the tower and aisles were added in the 16th century, and a major Victorian restoration in the 1880s gave the church much of its current character.
Inside, the unique Croatian Stone (1491) commemorates sailors who died while trading in Southampton, and the memorials of the Fleming family tell of the parish’s long connections with local history.
Although bomb damage in the Second World War shattered its windows and roof, St Nicolas was lovingly restored, and fragments of the old glass remain as part of its story. Today this Grade II* listed church continues to be a living witness to faith and heritage in the heart of the parish.
