Newly-thatched building, Stokeinteignhead

Stokeinteignhead is a village in the Teignbridge district of the English county of Devon. It is situated near the larger village of Shaldon on the River Teign and is twinned with the French commune of Trévières, Calvados.

Despite its closeness to the river Teign, the name Stokeinteignhead is not derived from it: in the Domesday Book the district contained thirteen manors which totalled an area of ten hides and the whole area was known as the "Ten Hide". This was later corrupted to Teignhead through the influence of the river name. The name of the nearby village of Combeinteignhead has a similar derivation.

The mascot of Stokeinteignhead, appearing on the village signs, is the Cirl Bunting. Link
