Stoke Canon

[2] There is a pub, The Stoke Canon Inn, and a post office and general stores in the centre of the village.

[citation needed] The Church of St. Mary Magdalene was wholly rebuilt in 1836, except for the west tower, at the cost of £1000.

It contains a Norman font, made from a single block of lava, and a number of 17th-century floor slabs to local families.

In April, 1847, a hot cinder, blown from one of the railway engines, ignited the thatched roof of a row of cottages, and the fire spread until 24 dwellings, including the parsonage house, were destroyed.

Stoke Canon Bridge, which stretches over two arms of the River Culm, was already built in the late 13th century.
