Stoke Albany is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, set in the rolling farmland of the East Midlands. The settlement has a compact historic core of stone and brick houses, a parish church and a village hall, with quiet lanes and public footpaths radiating into surrounding arable and pastoral land that make it popular for local walking and countryside views.
With medieval origins - its name reflecting a historical landholding family - the village retains a distinctly rural character. Economically the area remains largely agricultural, though many residents commute to nearby towns for work; community life centres on the church, village events and the parish council, and there are a number of listed buildings that hint at its long history.
