Stoke Hammond is a small rural village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, with origins that stretch back to the medieval period and a name associated with the Hammond family who once held the manor. It sits in a largely agricultural landscape but is close enough to larger towns to feel part of their commuter belt, being within easy reach of Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes.
The village retains a historic core of older cottages and a parish church, alongside modern homes, a village hall and a pub that help sustain a lively community life. Locally the economy mixes farming, small businesses and residents who travel out to work, and the place is known for its quiet village atmosphere, periodic community events and sense of local continuity amid wider change.
