[edit] History
The foundation stone for Highfield Church was laid on 12 September 1846 and it was consecrated on 17 September 1847, by the Right Reverend Charles Sumner, the Bishop of Winchester. The first minister was the Reverend Philip Raulin Robin. The legal name of the church is 'Christ Church, Portswood' but it became commonly known as 'Highfield Church' in 1883. The church originally had a nave, a small chancel, a south aisle, and a tower with a broached oak shingled spire, which contained one bell. The architect was Joshua Brandon, who died before the building was completed and is buried in the churchyard.
