List of places of worship in Brighton and Hove facts for kids

The city of Brighton and Hove, located on England's south coast, is home to over 100 churches and other places of worship that are still in use today. These buildings serve many different Christian groups and other religions. There are also more than 50 older religious buildings that are still standing but are no longer used for their original purpose.

The history of Brighton and Hove goes back almost 1,000 years. However, the area only became a "city" in its current form in the year 2000. It started as a small fishing village called Bristelmestune, which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the 1700s, it was saved from decline by the support of the Prince Regent and wealthy British society. Hove, located to the west, also had humble beginnings. It grew quickly in the 1800s and merged with Brighton, though it always tried to keep its own identity. During the 1900s, both areas expanded by including nearby villages like Patcham, Hangleton, West Blatchington and Ovingdean. Each of these villages had an old church at its heart. New neighborhoods such as Mile Oak, Moulsecoomb and Saltdean were built on land bought by the city.

Except for the old parish churches of Brighton (St Nicholas) and Hove (St Andrew's), and those in the nearby villages now part of the city, not many places of worship existed until the 1800s. However, during that century, especially in the Victorian era, England saw a huge increase in church building. This trend greatly influenced both Brighton and Hove. Reverend Henry Michell Wagner (who was the Vicar of Brighton from 1824 to 1870) and his son, Reverend Arthur Wagner, started and paid for many Anglican churches to help Brighton's fast-growing population. They faced some disagreements because of their beliefs. Many churches were also built in Hove. Plus, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Unitarian, Jewish and other places of worship were established for the first time. Even though some churches have closed or been torn down due to too many buildings and high upkeep costs, new churches continued to be built throughout the 1900s in the newer neighborhoods.

St Peter's Church is the former parish church of Brighton

Religious Groups in Brighton and Hove

According to the 2001 UK Census, 247,817 people lived in Brighton and Hove.

• About 59% of these people were Christian.
• Around 1.5% were Muslim.
• About 1.4% were Jewish.
• Roughly 0.7% were Buddhist.
• About 0.5% were Hindu.
• Only 0.1% were Sikh.
• About 0.85% belonged to another religion.
• Nearly 27% said they had no religion.
• Almost 9% did not state their religion.

Some of these numbers are quite different from the rest of England. For example, Judaism and Buddhism have a much larger following in Brighton and Hove. In England as a whole, only 0.52% of people are Jewish and 0.28% are Buddhist. Christianity is less common in the city compared to the whole country, where about 71.74% of people identify as Christian. Also, the number of people with no religious ties in Brighton and Hove is almost double that of England overall (which is 14.59%).

How Churches are Organized

All Anglican churches in the city are managed by the Diocese of Chichester. Below this, they are part of the Archdeaconry of Chichester, which is one of three main areas in the diocese. The Rural Deanery of Brighton is one of five smaller areas under the archdeaconry. It includes 28 churches that are still in use and 9 that are no longer used for worship. One of its churches, St Laurence at Falmer, is actually in the nearby area of Lewes. The Rural Deanery of Hove, also part of the Archdeaconry of Chichester, has 28 churches, with five of them now closed. Eight of these churches are in the Adur district of West Sussex, as this area covers Kingston Buci, Southwick and Shoreham-by-Sea, as well as Hove and Portslade.

The 11 Roman Catholic churches in the city are part of the Brighton and Hove Deanery. This is one of thirteen deaneries in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. The deanery has 13 churches in total, but those in Peacehaven and Southwick are outside the city limits. The church of St Theresa of Lisieux in Southwick has served the Portslade area of Brighton and Hove since 1992. This happened after the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea and St Denis in Portslade was closed and torn down after 80 years.

Out of the ten Baptist churches in Brighton and Hove, six are part of the Mid Sussex Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association. This is one of nine groups within the Baptist Union of Great Britain. These include the Holland Road and New Life Christian churches in Hove, the Florence Road and Gloucester Place churches in Brighton (now combined as "One Church Brighton"), the Oasis Christian Fellowship Church in Hangleton, and the church in Portslade. There's also a Baptist group in Woodingdean that meets in a school because it doesn't have its own building. The Ebenezer Reformed Baptist Church is part of GraceNet UK, a group of Reformed Evangelical Christian churches. Montpelier Place Baptist Church (which closed in 2012 and was later demolished) was also part of this group. Galeed Strict Baptist Chapel is connected to the Gospel Standard Baptist movement.

In 1972, the Congregational Church and the Presbyterian Church of England joined together to form the United Reformed Church. All United Reformed churches in the city are part of the Southern Synod, which is one of 13 larger groups within the Church. The city's five Methodist churches are in the Brighton and Hove Methodist Circuit.

Special Buildings: Listed Status

In England, a building is "listed" if it's put on a special list of buildings that have "special architectural or historic interest." This is done by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a government department. English Heritage, a public body, helps manage this process. There are three levels of listed status:

• Grade I: The highest level, for buildings of "exceptional interest," sometimes seen as important worldwide.
• Grade II*: For "particularly important buildings of more than special interest."
• Grade II: The lowest level, for "nationally important" buildings of "special interest."

As of February 2001, Brighton and Hove had 24 Grade I-listed buildings, 70 Grade II*-listed buildings, and 1,124 Grade II-listed buildings. Five of the Grade I-listed buildings are churches, and all of them are Anglican. There are 18 Grade II*-listed places of worship: 15 Anglican churches, two Roman Catholic churches, and one synagogue. Twenty-seven current and former places of worship have Grade II status.

In February 2015, the Brighton and Hove City Council also started a new "local list of heritage assets." Hundreds of buildings were checked for their "local historic, architectural, design and townscape value." Those that met the standards were added to this local list. This list includes almost 30 current and former places of worship.
