Stoke Goldington is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority area of the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England.[2] It is located about four miles NNW of Newport Pagnell, on the road to Northampton.
Listed buildings and structures
The village name 'Stoke' derives from the Old English 'stoc', which means 'place'.[3] It came to be used in the context of either a religious or a secondary settlement, and is one of the most common place name elements in England (see Stoke (disambiguation)). In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Stoche.[4] The affix 'Goldington' came later and refers to "Peter de Goldington" (from Goldington in Bedfordshire) who held the manor in the early thirteenth century.[5]
The parish has one grade I listed building,[6] and 33 at grade II.[7]
Church of St Peter
The parish church is dedicated to St Peter and is a grade I listed building.[6] The earliest parts of the building date from the 12th century.[5]
