Extract

The village of North Stoneham, not far from the Eastleigh railway junction, eight miles from Winchester and four from Southampton, stands, as the name denotes, “Ad Lapidem,” at one of the milestones on the Roman road from Winchester to the waterside at Clausentum. The parish church has somewhat higher architectural pretensions than is usual with the simple Hampshire village churches; it has a nave and two aisles running the whole length of the building, but no structural chancel; it is almost a square, with a low fifteenth-century tower at the west end.

page 131 note a The passage in Duthy runs thus: “On the pavement of the north aisle is a large stone, having round an eagle displayed the words SEPVLTURA DE LA SCHOLA DE SCLAVONI ANO DNĪ MCCCCLXXXXI. The import of the inscription has not been ascertained. It has been suggested, however, that it may point out the burial-place of a Slavonian named De La Schole, and that the arms may have been intended to designate his nation.” Sketches of Hampshire, p. 396.

page 131 note b By permission of the rector, the Rev. E. K. Browne, M.A., the wooden flooring has been cut through and hinged, so as to lift up to show the stone, at the expense of the Hampshire Field Club. The accompanying plate of the slab is from a rubbing made by Mr. W. H. St. John Hope, when this was done.
