Sorry these pages are a
bit sparse on information. Research will be underway in an attempt to rectify
this.

Anyone out there in the
Parish would like to assist? If so, drop me a line at

Alverstoke church is a normal
,relatively modern Parish church that probably unknown to its parishioners
fulfils a useful role as a mariners landmark.
It is located to the West
of Gosport on the Western approaches to Portsmouth. Its prominence derives
from the low lying nature of the land around it rather than any great height
of its structure.
The church is built on the
site of the mother Church for Gosport which as completely disappeared.
The current building was built by Henry Woodyer in 1865 (chancel), 1886
(Nave)
The tower was built to celebrate
the coronation of king Edward VII and restoration of peace after the South
African war of 1899-1902 (Boer war).
Work was started on the
tower in 1904.
