The New Forest Parish – One Church in Three Homes

Keeping Faith Alive and Hope Strong

God’s wonderful creation of the New Forest is the setting for our three homes. The rural landscapes of Minstead and Emery Down where Commoners’ animals and other livestock roam free are in contrast with Lyndhurst’s livelier atmosphere and built environment. In these warm and welcoming surroundings, we offer a variety of ways to worship, active ministry for families and children, and dedicated support for older people.

Pilgrims and parishioners alike can enjoy peace and tranquillity in our buildings and churchyards, while visitors may appreciate architectural styles from Medieval to Victorian and a variety of art from ancient stone carvings through paintings, pre-Raphaelite stained glass to contemporary icons.

You are welcome here, please come and join us.

Our Homes

Each church within the New Forest Parishes has its own distinct culture, worshipping community and history.
We would love to welcome you on Sundays to find out more.

Church Opening Times

Our three Churches are open daily for everyone from 10am to 4pm.
However, Church opening and closing may be earlier or later according to the commitments of those who kindly volunteer for this task every day.
