supplementing another for the west side of the city. Boundaries Church parishes and local government ward(s) history St Denys is bounded by the estuary (east), a mainline railway (west), the far side of buildings on the north side of the start of Kent Road (north) and the A335 bypass, which when built in the late 20th century meant removing part of the original parish. Today the area is roughly equivalent to a third of the ward of Portswood; it remains a whole ecclesiastical parish in the Church of England. In the Catholic Church it is grouped with Portswood to the north into a parish. Public transport The area is connected by a minor passenger stop on the site of a junction with the coastal line to Portsmouth or Brighton of the South West Main Line. The area is connected by a high-frequency timetable of buses to Southampton city centre, including its railway station, where the mainline continues to Weymouth.
