The Stoke Poges Society

The aim of the Society is the preservation and study of all matters relating to the history and development of Stoke Poges; to collate and preserve archive material and artefacts, and to make it available for members and other interested parties.

The Society holds about six events a year, including talks, visits, members’ evenings, and it is most keen to encourage members to research their own family, or road, or any other aspect of the Village that interests them, and share their findings with other members of the Society. (Click here for our programme of events.)   It will make available archive material to members. It also helps people around the world searching for family connections in the Village.

Stoke Poges has an interesting and varied history and it is great fun discovering it!
We would love to see you at this interactive social gathering. Please bring stories, memories, anecdotes and photographs etc., of Stoke Poges and surrounding villages as we all take a trip down memory lane. Exhibits from the Society's archive will be on display.
We will be having a tea or coffee and several of us will be staying on for lunch for those wishing to stay too. Tea and coffee provided by the Society.

The Rose & Crown pub is a friendly venue, at the heart of our community. A convenient meeting place for friends and families to catch up.   According to local lore, the first pub was built by man called Redrup. He opened it as a beerhouse in 1830. Although County Records for Stoke Hundred area show it first Licenced in 1853. What you visit now is a more modern building!
It has won the Horticultural Society's "Most Colourful Pub" several years running for its wonderful floral displays.
