Сток-д'Абернон: Тарихы мен қазіргі жағдайы

NOTOC

Stoke d'Abernon (/'//d//æ//b//ə//n//ə//n/) is a village and former civil parish in the Elmbridge district, in Surrey, England. It is on the right bank of the River Mole contiguously south of Cobham, a larger settlement which is a post town and is east southeast of Oxshott a large village founded in the 19th century from the higher, sandy forested part of its formerly expansive area. It shares a railway station with Cobham and is inside the M25 motorway. Cobham Training Centre, the training ground of Chelsea F. C., is within its traditional boundaries.

Stoke D'Abernon appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as the manor of Stoche (derived from the common Anglo Saxon word stoc, implying a holy place). Its assets were: 2 hides, 2 virgates and 5 acres (making about 1.11 km2 in all); 1 church, 2 mills worth 13s, 4 ploughs, 6 oxen, of meadow, woodland worth 40 hogs. It rendered £5 per year to its feudal system overlords. During the reign of Edward the Confessor, the manor was held by his servant, Bricsi Cild. Following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, William the Conqueror granted the manor to his kinsman, Richard fitz Gilbert, who also received the lordship of Clare. The suffix "D'Abernon" comes from the surname of another Norman nobleman, Sir Roger D'Aubernoun, who was also granted land in Surrey in return for his services to William. At some point after 1086, the de Clare family granted the manor of Stoche to the D'Aubernoun family, who likely originated from the parish of Abernon, near Orbec. The D'Aubernoun family held it until the mid 14th century. On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished.

It has a railway station, named Cobham & Stoke D'Abernon to attract custom from the much larger village of Cobham which starts contiguously 0.5 mile (1 km) to the north. It has been so named since its 1885 opening. In the east, on the main road to Leatherhead, is the Woodlands Park Hotel, the top of which is tile hung in the Surrey style. A single storey bay has a terracotta balustrade above, and the building has a half timbered gable end front bay. Built in 1890, it is a relatively modern listed building, designed by Rowland Plumbe. The local pub restaurant is The Old Plough which dates to the 16th century. The village has an active residents' association with a network of road representatives, but like those of neighbouring Cobham and Oxshott, and unlike similar groups in the rest of Elmbridge, it does not contest elections. The church, St Mary's, is Saxon with Norman and Victorian additions, and is famous for its monumental brasses, among them the oldest in the country. It is still active, and is Grade I listed.

Since about 2006 the village has been home to the training ground of Premier League football club Chelsea. Stoke D'Abernon Cricket Club was formed in 1870 and currently plays in the Surrey Championship.

Parkside Preparatory School is an independent prep school at the grade II* listed manor house adjacent to the parish church of St. Mary and was founded in 1879.

The Surrey County Councillor is shared with Cobham.
