Stoke is a small village in north-western Hampshire. It lies in the valley of the Bourne Rivulet, a tributary of the River Test five miles north-east of the town of Andover.
History
The 1894 OS map indicates that 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.
