Elim Pentecostal Church

Peace, quiet and contemplation under one historic roof.

A grant to help fund work including replacing the cramped tea-bar, library and toilet with a spacious kitchen and fully accessible toilet, and to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs by installing draught-proofing and double/secondary glazing windows.

Christian witness may have taken place on this site since Roman times and the first church was built soon after 971 AD and dedicated to the memory of Swithin, Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862, the foundations of this Saxon church lie beneath the floor of the crypt.
