Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Stoke Hammond is a village in north Buckinghamshire, England, about two and a half miles south of Fenny Stratford.

The village was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Stoche: a common place name in England denoting an Anglo Saxon church or place of worship. The suffix Hammond was added later in manorial records though it refers to the family who owned the estate at the time of the Domesday survey. Hamon Brito, son of Mainfelin Brito was the owner of the manor of Stoke in the 12th century.

Later the manor was passed into the ownership of the Duke of Norfolk, who still owned it as late as the end of the Victorian era. The Disney family, apparently related to the illustrator Walt Disney, was also at one time an influential family in the parish.

The parish church is dedicated to St Luke.

House prices in Stoke Hammond are set to increase shortly, due to the construction of the Stoke Hammond bypass.

It is one of the 32 Thankful Villages which lost no men in the First World War, as identified by the writer Arthur Mee in the 1930s.

Famous residents include Toy, bassist with the all girl punk band The Faders
