The rural civil parish of Stoke upon Tern sits in north Shropshire, England, taking its name from the nearby River Tern. The landscape is gently rolling farmland and hedgerows with scattered hamlets and small villages, and it lies within easy reach of market towns such as Market Drayton and larger centres like Telford.
Historically agricultural, the area features traditional farmhouses and a number of older listed buildings, centred on a parish church and a small, close‑knit community. Farming still shapes the local economy, though many residents commute to nearby towns; the parish is popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet slice of authentic Shropshire countryside and local heritage.
