==History==
Stoke means "hamlet", from the Anglo-Saxon.〔Latham, p. 16〕 It formed part of the ancient Forest of Mondrum. Stoke is not mentioned by name in the Domesday survey; the name was first recorded in 1260.〔Latham, pp. 18, 19〕 Barbridge is mentioned in John Leland's ''Itinerary'' from a visit of 1536.〔Latham, p. 84〕 The civil parish was originally a township in the ancient parish of Acton in the Nantwich Hundred; it was served by St Mary's Church, Acton.〔Latham, p. 9〕 The manor was given by Randal de Praers to his son, who assumed the name Stoke, and later passed to the Beeston and Aston families. By 1622, it was held by the Minshull family of Stoke Hall. The manor was held by the Wilbraham family from 1753 to 1781, and was then sold to the Craven family.〔Latham, p. 22〕
During the Civil War, Stoke was occupied by royalist forces in December 1643, together with much of the surrounding area.〔Latham, p. 34〕 In the 17th–19th centuries, the area appears to have had a substantial Quaker population; a graveyard at Stoke Grange Farm was given to the movement in 1657 and remained in use until the mid-19th century.〔Latham, pp. 74–75〕 During World War II, Stoke Manor provided accommodation for land girls.〔Latham, p. 57〕
Barbridge had a watermill on Mill Pool Lane which was used until the 1880s.〔Latham, p. 82〕 A smithy was active until the late 1940s. In the mid-19th century, an agricultural business was based in Barbridge which supplied machinery internationally, and a small engineering firm was later based in Stoke.〔
