The Royal Oak in Stokenchurch, Oxfordshire

Stokenchurch

Stokenchurch is a village in the very east of Oxfordshire. It lies amongst the Chiltern Hills, some three miles south of Chinnor, and six miles west of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. The village is a popular place to live, due to its rural location and ease of access to London and Birmingham, for despite its rural feel, it stands close to the M40 motorway on which it has its own junction.

The main landmark in Stokenchurch is The King's Hotel (formerly The King's Arms Hotel), where King Charles II is reputed to have stayed in the 17th century. There is a parish Church, the church of St Peter and St Paul, and a Methodist Church, shops, several village pubs, a library, and slowly growing residential areas, along with surrounding farmland, complete this village bisected by the main A40 road.
