Stockingford is a suburb of the town of Nuneaton, in the county of Warwickshire, England, about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Nuneaton town centre.

Stockingford first appeared in records in 1157, named Stoccingford, derived from the Old English Stocc; to root up trees.

In the early 19th century the area became industrialised, with several collieries and brickworks, and the population expanded rapidly.

[1][2][3] Stockingford was served by its own railway station on the Birmingham to Nuneaton line from 1864 until 1968.

[5] Stockingford was mentioned in George Eliot's novel Scenes of Clerical Life as 'Paddiford Common'.
