[1] These last four South Stoneham divisions covered much of modern-day north Southampton suburbs and the Borough of Eastleigh.

Other than St. Mary's Church (which is close to South Stoneham House but predates it considerably) and a few adjacent houses, there was no village of "South Stoneham"; instead these adjoined, as it does today, Swaythling ("now practically a suburb of Southampton, and [a] favourite residential quarter"), which became the generally used name for all the rest of the parish.

[5] South Stoneham House was constructed in 1708 as the Dummers' family home, and has been attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor.

His cousin Thomas, a lawyer who had acquired the manor on Edmund's behalf, fought a lawsuit attempting to gain control of the property; however in 1716, Edward Nicholas of Newton Valence took ownership of South Stoneham.

Mrs Charlotte Maria Beckford leased the property and died at South Stoneham House in 1854, after which Thomas Willis Fleming (second son of John) moved in.

The Willis Flemings sold South Stoneham House for £20,000 in 1875 (or 1878 according to some sources), to Captain Thomas Davison (or Daveson).

[3][7] Included in the sale catalogue issued on 23 November 1875 was Wood Mill (still standing and operating as an outdoor activities centre as of 2013), Gascon Cottage, and land for building.

[13] The original parish of South Stoneham covered over 8,000 acres (32.37 km2; 12.50 sq mi) and extended along the eastern side of the River Itchen from the site of the present day Eastleigh in the north to just above Northam Bridge in the south, and from Swaythling to the outskirts of the original town of Southampton on the western side of the river, and, prior to boundary changes in 1891-94, comprised the eight tithings of Allington, Barton, Bitterne, Boyatt, Eastleigh, Pollack, Portswood, and Shamblehurst.

[14] The living at South Stoneham then became the gift of the rector of St. Mary's, Southampton, who held the right of presentation until the early 20th century.

[18] South Stoneham Poor Law Union was formed on 25 March 1835 with nine constituent parishes and overseen by a board of 16 governors.

In rural districts (as South Stoneham was at the time), they were coterminous with the existing poor law unions.

[20] South Stoneham Rural District was established by the Local Government Act 1894, replacing the sanitary authority.
