"SOUTHWICK, a parish in the hundred of Portsdown, county Hants, 4 miles N.E. of Fareham, its post town, and 3 N. of Porchester railway station. The village is considerable, and near Bere Forest. The parish includes the manor of Aplestede. It had formerly a priory of Black Canons, in which Henry VI. was married to Margaret of Anjou. At the Dissolution the revenues were returned at £257, and the site given to the Whites. The living is a donative curacy,* annexed to that of Boarhunt, in the diocese of Winchester. The church, dedicated to St. James, has a square tower containing four bells and a brass to J. White, date 1567. The parochial charities produce about £150 per annum, chiefly the endowment of Thistlethwayte's school, of recent foundation."

You can also perform a more selective search for churches in the area that are recorded in the GENUKI church database. This will also help identify churches in nearby townships and/or parishes. You also have the option to see the location of the churches marked marked on a map.
If you keep this page loaded for a very long time and the database is updated since loading it, the church links above may become stale and may display the wrong church. If this happens, reloading this page will correct them.
