Welcome to Stoke Canon

Stoke Canon is a small village located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated on the River Culm, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for visitors. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The name "Stoke Canon" is believed to have originated from the Old English words "stoc" meaning "place" and "canon" meaning "canonry", indicating that there was once a religious community in the area.

One of the most notable landmarks in Stoke Canon is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The church is a Grade I listed building and features a beautiful Norman doorway, a 15th-century rood screen, and a 17th-century pulpit. The churchyard is also home to a number of interesting graves, including that of John Davie, a local farmer who was hanged for murder in 1803.

Stoke Canon is a peaceful and charming village that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Devon. With its beautiful river, historic church, and friendly locals, it is a great place to visit for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you are interested in history, nature, or simply relaxing in a tranquil setting, Stoke Canon is definitely worth a visit.
