Abstract
This chapter discusses the memorials of Stoke Bishop. The district that has now been for many years entitled the Parish of Stoke Bishop was but sparsely inhabited in those far-off days when thoughts of a church began to arise. There were a certain number of resident gentry to whom the long distance of their homes and of the entire surrounding neighborhood from their parish church of Westbury-on-Trym was felt as a serious disadvantage. The resolute purpose that a church should be built will neither account for this nor the steady and continuous effort of skilled and patient labor nor the free and generous gifts of many willing hearts. The exterior of the church as it was then would hardly be recognized by those who have only known it in its perfected proportions. It was a humble building, consisting only of nave and small chancel, south aisle, and the foundations of a tower, roofed over as a porch.
