Stoke Mandeville St Mary

 

The Parish

The parish of Stoke Mandeville lies in central Buckinghamshire about 3 miles south of the county town of Aylesbury. Stoke Mandeville is a much enlarged village being a growth area for housing outside the boundaries of Aylesbury, formerly it was a small and compact village. Stoke Mandeville sits a half mile west of the A413 road which connects Aylesbury with Wendover & Amersham, a route also followed by Aylesbury's main rail line to London. At the time of this transcript Stoke Mandeville was simply a farming community, mixed farming in the heavy soils of the area. Today Stoke Mandeville is known worldwide for its hospital and the immense work done by the spinal injury unit. Stoke Mandeville is drained by numerous small brooks and field drains heading northwestwards to join the River Thame and thence via the Thames to the North Sea through the Thames Estuary. Stoke Mandeville is sited at around 100 metres above the sea and sits on the plains which butt to the escarpment of the nearby Chiltern Hills where local heights reach 260 metres on Coombe Hill. Stoke Mandeville parish was fairly typically sized for its area, covering just under 1,500 acres it would have supported a population of just under 500 parishioners. In Domesday times Stoke Mandeville was held by the Bishop of Lincoln and held 21 ploughs, small meadows & woodlands and a mill.


The Church

St Mary's church has a prominent position at the heart of Stoke Mandeville sitting at the principal junction of the village. Regrettably this church is a Victorian replacement for the original ST Mary which sits in ruins a half mile to the south. Built in 1886 the church is unusual in having the tower offset in a southwesterly position rather than the usual western site. The building makes much use of the local bricks with stone dressings topping everything off. The building is clearly of little architectural interest as Pevsner's description is short and offers little in the way of comment caustic or otherwise. Sitting beside the junction marked by a roundabout the church is shielded by neat hedges and a pair of metal gates grant access. The churchyard is rather hemmed in from the west by trees restricting the angles available for photography.
