There is an entry for Abbotstone [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU5634/abbotstone/] [accessed 13 August 2018] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-1872 [http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/21154] reported at the time: "It contains a ruined church". The entry for Itchen Stoke with Abbotstone in the Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The hamlet of Abbotstone [...] was formerly an important parish [...] The church at Abbotstone was dedicated to tne honour of St. Peter. It is stated at the end of the 15th century that it was valued at 10 marks. [...] The living is now annexed to that of Itchen Stoke, and there is no church at Abbotstone." Isabel Sanderson (1970) [http://www.hantsfieldclub.org.uk/publications/hampshirestudies/digital/1970s/vol28/Sanderson.pdf] [accessed 13 August 2018] reports a church listed at Abbotstone during the time of Bishop John de Pontisarra (1282-1304), and a rector of this parish is documented in 1292. The Historic England entry for the deserted village of Abbotstone [List entry Number: 1001866] notes: "Deserted medieval village of Abbotstone 340m east of Abbotstone Mill [...] The monument includes a deserted medieval village known as Abbotstone in two separate areas of protection surviving as earthworks and buried remains. It is situated on gently sloping ground to the east of a tributary of the River Itchen, 2km WNW of Old Alresford. The deserted medieval village includes a series of rectangular croft enclosures or property boundaries, generally orientated ENE to WSW, surrounded by banks with evidence of tofts or house platforms within them. There are three parallel depressions, which indicate hollow ways, one of which leads to the site of a churchyard at the west. A rectangular enclosure bounded by a bank on the west side of the village is the site of the medieval church."
