From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Stoke Goldington is a village in the County of Milton Keynes, England. It is located about four miles NNW of Newport Pagnell, on the old road to Northampton.
The village name 'Stoke' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'hamlet'. It is one of the commonest place names in England (see Stoke (disambiguation)). In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Stoche. The affix 'Goldington' came later and refers to Peter of Goldington (from Goldington in Bedfordshire) who was the principal tenant in the village in the medieval period.
