Stokenchurch is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire on the southern edge of the Chiltern Hills, close to the border with Oxfordshire and conveniently near the M40 corridor between High Wycombe and Oxford. The parish sits amid mixed woodland and rolling chalk hills and is dominated on the skyline by the well‑known Stokenchurch transmitting mast.
Historically the settlement grew from woodland industries and coaching traffic, and today it combines a strong village community - church, village hall, pubs and local schools - with a commuter population and small light‑industrial and retail businesses. Annual fetes and countryside pursuits reflect its rural setting while good road links make it a practical base for people working in nearby towns and cities.
