worship 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. It was purchased by Riverside Family Church in the early 1980s and given its new name. The building is a Grade II listed building. Northam Primitive Methodist Church was opened in 1874. The church held its first wedding in September 1911 and it expanded to include a Sunday school in the late 1920s. By 2022 the church was no longer in use and proposals were being made to turn it into housing. Television Centre, Southampton Northam was home to Television Centre, Southampton, run by ITV franchises Meridian Broadcasting, TVS (Television South) and Southern Television, before Meridian moved their operations to Whiteley. As well as the regional news magazine programme Meridian Tonight, the studios were originally home to the very first series of the popular game show Catchphrase (before it moved to Maidstone Studios) and handled transmission of Meridian, Anglia and HTV West. The first attempt to redevelop the site failed in 2009 when the developer went into administration. In 2014, Inland Homes announced plans to develop the site as a residential area.
