[1] The Anglican Church of St Peter, Stoke on Tern, has a Sunday service every other week and a Wednesday prayer meeting four times a month.

[5] One of the most important artifacts in the church is the Corbet family monument, which dates from the third quarter of the 16th century, and furnishes Stoke on Tern with connections to the family of William Shakespeare (and the setting of his play As You Like It and individuals potentially memorialised in that work and others) as well as the project to deliver the Geneva Bible.

The monument was raised to Reginald Corbet (d. 1566), a notable lawyer in the Tudor period, and his wife Alice Gratewood.

Alice was an heiress of her uncle Sir Rowland Hill of Soulton, who published the Geneva Bible[6] and is considered the inspiration for the character Old Sir Rowland in As You Like It,[7] which is also understood to be inspired by this part of Shropshire, which is in on the edge of the Forest of Arden, the play's setting.

In 1583, he came under suspicion for being head of a family that had remained loyal to the Catholic Church, and was sentenced for allegedly plotting against Elizabeth I.

Since 2020 there has been no bus service serving the village, although the 341 and 342 routes between Market Drayton and Telford via Childs Ercall were operated by Arriva Midlands until 2016.
