Stoke, Plymouth

Stoke, Plymouth

Stoke, also referred to by its earlier name of Stoke Damerel, is a parish, once part of the historical Devonport, England. Prior to 1914, it was a suburb of Devonport. In 1914, Devonport and Plymouth amalgamated with Stonehouse. The new town took the name of Plymouth. Since the amalgation, it's been an inner suburb of Plymouth in the English county of Devon.

Stoke is now densely built up with family houses and bisected by the main railway line from Paddington to Penzance. The parish church is notable not only for its evolving architecture, but also its contents and historical connections. The area has been prosperous for several hundred years, and there are some distinguished private houses dating to Georgian and Victorian times (several of which feature in Nikolaus Pevsner's "Devon"; 1952, 1989. ISBN 0-300-09596-1).
