ABOUT US
At Stourbridge, we are proud to be a Spiritualist Church of truly international standing and recognition. Over the course of the past Century, we have been honoured to be the regular home of some of the most gifted and celebrated mediums, speakers, healers and teachers of our time.
As Modern Spiritualism moves into the 21st Century, we continue to be excited by and dedicated to the excellent work of the spirit carried out within our Church and its neighbouring communities.
As an affiliated body of the Spiritualists' National Union (SNU), we uphold the teachings of the Seven Principles of Spiritualism, and welcome any and all to come along and embrace the warmth and inclusivity of our beautiful Church and its members.

MINISTER
ERIC HATTON
Honorary President (in Spirit)
Referred to by many as simply 'Mr Spiritualism', Minister Eric Hatton was one of the most revered and beloved Presidents of our Church, as well as one of the most prolific and accomplished ministers in the SNU's proud history.
Passing into Spirit in November 2015 to join his beloved wife Heather - herself a highly popular and successful medium - we honour Eric with his position as Honorary President in Spirit.
