In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described St Denys like this:
DENYS (St.), a ruined Augustinian priory in South Stoneham parish, Hants; on the river Itchen, adjacent to the South Western railway, 2 miles NNE of Southampton. It was founded by Henry I., and put over nearly all the churches of Southampton by Henry II.; yet never was very large or rich. The only remnant of it is an ivy-covered wall, with a piscina.
St Denys is now part of SOUTHAMPTON Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how SOUTHAMPTON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about St Denys itself, go to Statistics.
