Stoke Talmage is a village four and a half miles south of Thame in the south-east of Oxfordshire. The 2001 Census recorded the parish population as 49: because the parish population is below 100, the 2011 Census did not record it separately.
Church
Stoke Talmage seems to have had a parish church since the 11th century, although the first clear historical reference to it dates from 1219.
The parish church today, St Mary Magdalene, was restored in 1758. In 1860 it was restored again and extended to plans by George Gilbert Scott.[1]
St Mary Magdalene Rectory was built in 1752. It was extended in 1820 by the builder and architect Daniel Harris.[2]
