Stoketon House was built in about 1770, and was the seat of Admiral De Courcy.[2] By the 1860s it was in the possession of the Edwards family.[3]

Stoketon Cross along the A38 road has been the scene of numerous automobile accidents. In November 2017 a collision between two cars and a motorcycle occurred here.[4] In 2014 it was announced that £4.5m in private sector funding had been raised for an improvement at the junction.[5]
