This church replaced an earlier building called St Mary’s Church which stood on a different site nearer to the [River Itchen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Itchen,_Hampshire), (at [50.97224°N 1.33923°W](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=St_Mary%27s_Church,_Bishopstoke¶ms=50.97224_N_1.33923_W_)). It had been rebuilt in 1825, but by 1908 had been completely demolished. ![st-marys](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/a12b98e19e74d5d48e77aca83859fc3dd681e757.jpeg) ---
