Stoke Golding lies in the heart of England, on the South Western edge of Leicestershire, close to the Warwickshire border. Within two miles is the market town of Hinckley and 16 miles away is the City of Leicester.

In 1485 the people of the village witnessed the rural coronation of the first Tudor monarch, Henry VII. In the early part of the 19th century Stoke Golding was a small village, self-sufficient in every way, with small factories making a variety of wares, including socks, stockings and shoes.
