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 store and Caf , 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.
