LOCATION
Stoke Row is a delightful rural village lying on high ground to the north of Reading, surrounded by beautiful beech woodlands and countryside typical of the Chilterns area of ‘outstanding natural beauty'. The village takes its name from the Saxon word ‘stoches' meaning a place and ‘ruh' meaning a wooded upland. Until 1848 Stoke Row was part of the parish of Ipsden but in this year the church of St John the Evangelist was built and it became its own ecclesiastical parish.


The presence of clay locally gave rise to brick making and pottery industries that started way back in Saxon times and thrived strongly up to the end of the 19th century. In the late Victorian era and up to the end of the Second World War, chair leg turning and tent peg making flourished and these occupations, together with the local saw mill, were the principal sources of employment. Today Stoke Row still provides employment on a small industrial estate on the edge of the village concealed in woodland.


In 1863 Stoke Row, which had no natural source of water, was presented with a Well by the Maharajah of Benares as a gift to a locally born Colonial administrator, Mr E A Reade, who had carried out an accessible water scheme in the Maharaja's own area. The well was sited next door to an established cherry orchard which was subsequently bought by the Parish to be kept as a conservation area for the village.


Currently the village has a population of approximately 650 and is conveniently placed for ease of access to Henley on Thames, Reading, Wallingford and both the M40 and M4 motorways. For rail commuters there are stations at both Henley and Reading Central providing services up to London (Paddington). Local village facilities include a Post Office/general stores, repair garage with petrol and 2 highly regarded village inns both with restaurants. There is also a highly regarded Primary School and the village has an attractive central area with 2 open greens.

The larger nearby village of Sonning Common provides excellent everyday shopping facilities with banks, small supermarket and primary and secondary schools.
