Stoke Doyle is a village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire in England, two miles south-west of Oundle. The population of the village at the 2011 Census was included in the civil parish of Wadenhoe.

The village's name means 'Outlying farm/settlement'. The village was held by John de Oyly in 1286.[2]

Governance

It is represented on the parish council of Pilton, Stoke Doyle and Wadenhoe,[3] and on North Northamptonshire council. Before changes in 2021 it was previously represented on East Northamptonshire District Council[4] and Northamptonshire County Council. Stoke Doyle is part of the Corby constituency, represented at the House of Commons by Tom Pursglove.[5]

Geography

Stoke Doyle is two miles south-west of the town of Oundle, on the road between there and Wadenhoe. A stream running through the village rises in Lilford Wood and flows into the River Nene.[6]

Demography

At the time of the 1991 census, the parish population was 64 people, living in a total of 29 houses.[4]

Landmarks

Stoke Doyle's church, dedicated to Saint Rumbold,[7] stands to the east of the road[6] and was built between 1722 and 1725.[4] The village has a pub, the Shuckburgh Arms.[8] A sign on the road claims the village is twinned with the Catalan city of Barcelona, but it's just a joke by one villager.[9]
