Stoke Hammond

Stoke Hammond (Old English: Stoche Hamon) is a historical English village and civil parish in the north of the county of Buckinghamshire. It is one of the 53 "thankful villages" which lost no men in World War I, as first identified by the writer Arthur Mee in the 1930s, and is the only thankful village in Buckinghamshire. The parish extends over 600 hectares and has a population of approximately 2000.

The nearest train station is in Leighton Buzzard, offering fast trains both north and south to Milton Keynes and London Euston. The Grand Union Canal also passes close by. Until 2007, the A4146 ran through Stoke Hammond until the bypass opened, making the village peaceful once again.

Notable residents of Stoke Hammond include David F. Kessler, former managing director of The Jewish Chronicle, as well as various individuals with connections to Queen Victoria and the early Disney family.
