There is an entry for this Stoke [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU9950/stoke/] [accessed 18 December 2015]; it mentions a church and 0.5 church lands in it. The Victoria County History (Surrey, vol. 3, 1911) notes: "The church of Stoke is mentioned in the Domesday Survey. [...] Like so many churches in the neighbourhood it has suffered severely at the hands of the restorer, and externally is almost completely modern. The earliest details now to be seen are in the arcades of the nave and south chapel, which are of early 14th-century date. [...] The font is a late 18th-century one, and has a small black marble octagonal bowl on a baluster stem of white marble. The base is also of black marble."
