There is an entry for [Bishop]stoke [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU4619/bishopstoke/] [accessed 3 July 2018]; it mentions a church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "At the time of the Domesday Survey there was a church at Bishopstoke. [...] The advowson of Bishopstoke has always been in the hands of the bishops of Winchester except for [...] The church of St. Mary, Bishopstoke, now disused, was rebuilt in 1825 [...] No part of the older church remains. [...] The modern church, also dedicated in honour of St. Mary, was built in 1891". [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of the old church].
