Licence No 100019797 2008 Garage The village combines areas which are quite compact and almost urban in character with other areas which are spacious and open, complementing its rural location. The older development is concentrated around the Newton Road junctions with Leighton Road/Fenny Road and the 1 Stoke Hammond Conservation Area smaller Church Road. The open areas are found around the Grade II Listed Tyrells Manor and small village Green and also around the Grade II Listed Bridge Farm House, Moat Farm House and Little Acre. The older areas are characterised by high hedgerow enclosure which, in places, is complemented by brick walling. The walling is particularly impressive around the Grade II Listed Stoke Lodge, also along the western side of Church Road and, most notably of all, around the Grade II Listed Old Rectory and the Grade II * Listed Church of St. Luke, alongside the driveway to the Grade II Listed Grove Farm and along the Church Lane frontage. Although extensively restored in the mid-nineteenth century, the church is primarily fourteenth and fifteenth century in origin. The pleasantly treed churchyard contains an early nineteenth century stone tomb, which is also Grade II Listed, to the Fountain family. Modern development has been allowed around the periphery of the village, most notably along Fenny Road, Tyrells Road, Tyrells Gardens, Bragenham Side, Old Bell Close, Appleacres and, most recently, either side of Leighton Road around Mount Pleasant and between Bragenham Side and Bridge Farm House.
