History

The 1894 OS map[1] indicates Stoke was a very small village, perhaps qualifying as a hamlet. Two farms are listed: Hopgoods and Summerbee. Additionally, there is a Methodist chapel, the "White Hart" public house and a moderate number of further dwellings, The White Hart pub remains extant, however the days it is open are significantly limited. Arguably, it should be considered a private house, that is occasionally used as a service venue.[2] There are eight grade two listed buildings in Stoke,[3] although the number of historic houses is far greater. As with many villages in the area, there are a large number of thatched houses in the vernacular style.

Governance

The village is part of the civil parish of St Mary Bourne[4] and is part of the Burghclere, Highclere and St. Mary Bourne ward of Basingstoke and Deane borough council.[5] The borough council is a Non-metropolitan district of Hampshire County Council.
