Stoke Golding is a village and civil parish in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England, close to the county border with Warwickshire.
Stoke Golding's unique historical claim to fame is that in 1485 the people of the village witnessed the unofficial rural coronation of Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch.
After Henry Tudor was victorious over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, which took place in the healthy marshland known as the Redemore between Stoke Golding, Dadlington, Shenton and Sutton Cheney, Henry's entourage retired to hilly ground near the village of Stoke Golding.
Here the impromptu coronation of King Henry VII was performed with a circlet by tradition retrieved from a nearby thorn bush.
The window sills of the Church show grooves which legend has it were caused by the soldiers sharpening their swords and axes on the eve of the battle.
