St. Mary's Church, South Stoneham, Medieval church in Southampton, England

The church features a 12th-century chancel, a 13th-century nave, and a late 15th-century tower with battlemented parapet near River Itchen.

Parts of the church date back to 1150, when it served as a chapel of ease to St Mary's Southampton, covering over 8,000 acres along the Itchen.

The interior displays the royal arms of Charles II from 1660 and houses a Purbeck marble font from 1180.

The church conducts traditional Holy Communion services every Sunday at 8 AM, following the Book of Common Prayer without musical accompaniment.

Despite being the center of a parish, there was never an actual village named South Stoneham in historical records.
