*************

Stoke D'Abernon is a small village situated between Cobham and Leatherhead in the county of Surrey. The census area Oxshott and Stoke D'Abernon has a population of 6,100.^[1]

Stoke D’Abernon lay within the Anglo-Saxon administrative district of Elmbridge hundred. Stoke d'Abernon appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Stoche. It was held by Richard Fitz Gilbert. Its Domesday assets were: 2 hides; 2 virgates 5 acres (20,000 m²); 1 church, 2 mills worth 13s, 4 ploughs, 6 oxen, 4 acres (16,000 m²) of meadow, woodland worth 40 hogs. It rendered £5.^[2] The suffix d'Abernon comes from a family who came over at the time of the Norman conquest in 1066. Its church, St Mary's, is Saxon with Norman and Victorian additions, and is famous for its monumental brasses, among them the oldest in the country.

It has its own railway station, named Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon because Cobham was located too far north for the line to be effectively routed to it when constructed at the end of the 19th century.

Stoke D'Abernon Cricket Club was formed in 1870 and currently plays in the Surrey Championship. It is a growing club that welcomes all new players of all abilities - click here [1] for details.

For the past few years, the training ground of Premier League football club Chelsea has been situated in the village.

The local pub-restaurant is The Old Plough.

The village has an active residents' association with a network of road representatives [2] but as with neighbouring Cobham and Oxshott, unlike similar groups in the rest of Elmbridge [3] it does not contest elections.
