Sharing God’s Life across the communities of mid-Test Valley
Romsey Deanery is in the Bournemouth Archdeaconry. The Deanery connects the Southampton area, with the Andover area and runs along the Test Valley which includes the Waitrose farms, trout farming, mixed farming and a brewery! The Deanery mainly comprises multi-parish rural benefices, with one suburban parish (on the outskirts of Southampton) and the market town of Romsey with its historic Abbey.
We are a friendly and active Deanery. The clergy meet monthly for prayer and discussion. We have strong overseas links – especially in South Rwenzori and Burundi. Synod and Chapter work together and are galvanised to work together where we can with each other, and supporting each other. We run courses together, for all the Deanery.
