The Church of England Diocese of Portsmouth covers 139 parishes across south-east Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It embraces areas from the heart of urban Portsmouth to the rolling hills of the South Downs. Our churches range from beautiful historic Saxon and Norman buildings to modern, purpose-built centres. Our cathedral (left) is located in the heart of Old Portsmouth. Our worshippers are involved with innovative mission, social justice, effective discipleship and serving their local communities. And our church schools and academies are committed to providing the best education possible for our children. Explore our website and discover more.
