Stoke is a small civil parish in the borough of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England, set in a predominantly rural landscape of farmland and pockets of ancient woodland a short distance from the town of Bromsgrove. It has medieval roots and a number of traditional Worcestershire buildings - timber‑framed cottages and a parish church - that reflect its long local history, while larger centres such as Birmingham and Worcester lie within easy commuting reach.
The local economy remains a mixture of agriculture and small independent businesses, with many residents travelling to nearby towns for work; light industry in the wider district also offers employment. Social life is village‑centred, organised around the church, village hall and occasional fetes and community events, and the surrounding lanes and footpaths make Stoke popular with walkers and those keen to enjoy Worcestershire’s countryside while conserving its rural character.
