Stoke St. Mary is a small rural village and civil parish in Somerset, England, lying a few miles east of Taunton. Set among gently rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of the county, it is within easy reach of the Somerset Levels and provides a quiet, commuter-friendly base for the county town while retaining a distinctly rural feel.
The village has a long history centred on its parish church and a handful of listed buildings, and local life still revolves around farming, the village hall and community events; there are also small-scale enterprises and cottage industries. Its mix of historic character and countryside access makes it representative of the smaller Somerset parishes - peaceful, community-focused and tied to the agricultural landscape that shaped the region.
