Welcome to the churches of the Meon Bridge Benefice

It is our pleasure to welcome you to our churches in the Meon Bridge Benefice, which covers the parishes of Droxford, Exton, and Meonstoke with Corhampton. The name of the benefice, newly formed in October 2009, is derived from the location of the parishes in the Meon Valley and the name of the parish magazine, The Bridge.  There is also a long-standing link with the community on the Preshaw Estate near Upham

Our churches have been serving this stretch of the Meon Valley for over a thousand years and we hope to go on meeting the spiritual needs of the people of our parishes for many generations to come.

As rural churches, we recognise that we have in our parishes a broad spectrum of people whose needs vary from the traditional to the modern and so we put on a wide variety of services to appeal to all ages and tastes. Our Prayer Book services have a traditional dignity, whilst our family services are quite informal. We have a strong musical tradition with an excellent choir at the mid-morning Sunday services and a young people’s orchestra at the informal services. We hope you will enjoy worshipping with us, and that you are able to experience the love and grace of God whilst you are with us.
