History
Stoke Holy Cross has a rich history that dates back to the medieval period. The village was once the site of a significant watermill, which played an important role in the local economy. This mill became particularly notable in the 19th Century when it was expanded by the Colman family, who established their first mustard mill here, helping Stoke Holy Cross become part of the famous Colman`s mustard brand history.

The village is home to several historic buildings, including a medieval parish church, St. Marys Church, which has stood for centuries and serves as a focal point for the community. There are also several charming cottages and period properties, some of which are listed buildings, reflecting the area`s architectural heritage.
