Some include St Josephs R.C. Church here (because of its proximity to Bedhampton railway station) but most do not^[1].

There has been a church in Bedhampton since 1086^[2]. The present parish church, St Thomas The Apostle ^[3], situated in Old Bedhampton, dates from the 12th century ^[4]. In 1953 a church centre was built, and dedicated to St Nicholas. There are also a Methodist church, a modern building in Hulbert Road replacing an earlier primitive chapel by the station, and a Gospel Hall, built between 1901 and 1922 with funds provided by local benefactress Miss Meiklam ^[5], within the parish boundary.
