Northam, Southampton
Northam is a suburb of Southampton in Hampshire. On the West bank of the River Itchen, it shares borders with St Mary's, Bitterne and Bevois Valley. Beside the border with St Mary's is the Chapel area, which has been home to some recent apartment building developments in Northam.[1] The A3024 road runs through the suburb and crosses the Northam Bridge, which links Northam with Bitterne via Bitterne Manor. Although St Mary's Stadium takes its name from the neighbouring St Mary's, the stadium itself is in Northam, and home to Southampton F.C.

Places of worship[edit]
The Augustine Centre was originally a Church of England church, and subsequently home to Northam Pentecostal Church. The church was built as St Augustine between 1881 and 1884 to a design by Henry Woodyer.[24] It was purchased by Riverside Family Church in the early 1980s and given its new name.[25] The building is a Grade II listed building.[26]
Northam Primitive Methodist Church was opened in 1874.[27] The church held its first wedding in September 1911 and it expanded to include a Sunday school in the late 1920s.[28][27] By 2022 the church was no longer in use and proposals were being made to turn it into housing.[28]
