With the New Forest as its backdrop this delightful country church welcomes visitors and worshippers alike. The tranquil space provides an ideal setting for services such as Discovering Taizé when lighted candles burn in the deep windowsills and where Holy Communion in traditional language complements the architectural early English style. In complete contrast, Meeting Point is a community gathering for coffee, cake and chat! Sunday at Six is a time for celebrating music, food and pets.

The church and its yard provide perfect places for prayer, quiet contemplation and to enjoy nature’s delights – wood anemones carpet the ground in early spring where orchids flourish amongst meadow grasses in early summer.

There are CWGC graves in the churchyard and the lychgate is the war memorial for Emery Down and Bank where parishioners attend a service of Remembrance on Armistice Day. The churchyard is open for burials.
