Upper Itchen Benefice
The Benefice Today
The Rector of the Upper Itchen Benefice is the Revd Dr Alexandra Clarke. The Benefice also has two Readers, Bruce Newson and Debbie Thompson, and we are also lucky to have a part time Benefice Secretary, Margaret Pickthorne (herself a Reader in a different Benefice). Each parish has two Churchwardens who can also be contacted for assistance.
The church and village communities throughout the Benefice are vibrant centres of life and care. You can find plenty to get involved with if you wish: with opportunities to make invaluable contributions to help the local, national and global community, and a wealth of social groups, clubs, events and activities taking place for all ages. Please see the Community section for further details of how you can get involved. See Teaching & Nurture section for opportunities of exploring, renewing or deepening your faith. See What's On Upper Itchen pages for details of church, village and club events taking place this year.
