Stoke Golding is a compact, largely residential village in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire, England, clustered around a traditional village green with timber‑framed houses, an old market cross and the ancient parish church of St Margaret. It has a handful of local shops, pubs and a primary school, and many residents commute to nearby towns such as Nuneaton, Hinckley, Coventry and Leicester.
Historically and culturally the village is best known for its close connection to the events of 1485: local tradition links Stoke Golding to the aftermath of the Battle of Bosworth Field and claims the defeated king’s body was displayed on the village cross. The community retains a strong sense of identity with preserved historic buildings and an active local calendar of fairs, concerts and village hall events.
