Etymology
v. stoc . It probably denotes here some dependent settlement as suggested by Ekwall, Studies , 11 ff. In the 12th century the Bardolf family acquired a moiety of the Domesday barony of Geoffrey Alselin. But the first Bardolf associated definitely with Stoke seems to be the Doun Bardolf of 1194. William Bardolf held the manor in 1235 (Fees).
