STOKE-NEWINGTON, a metropolitan suburb and a parish in Middlesex. The suburb lies adjacent to the New River and the North London railway, 3¼ miles N by E of St. Paul’s, London; grew around a village, anciently called Neweton; extends now, beyond its own proper parish, into the parishes of West Hackney, Hornsey, and Islington; and has post-offices under London S, and a police station.

The parish is a sub-district of Hackney district, and comprises 639 acres. Real property, £40,528. Pop. in 1851, 4,840; in 1861, 6,608. Houses, 1,040.

The manor belonged, before the Norman conquest, to St. Paul’s cathedral; was vested, at an early period, in a prebend of that cathedral; was held, under the prebendaries, by the Pattens, the Dudleys, the Pophams, the Gunstons, the Abneys, and the Eades; and has passed to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.

The living is a rectory in the diocese of London. Value, £820. Patron, the Bishop of L. The old church was rebuilt in 1563; and is a brick edifice, with tower and spire. The new church was opened in 1858, but not completed till 1863; and is a spacious and noble edifice, in a style between early English and decorated.

There are several dissenting chapels, several public schools, a lunatic asylum, an invalid asylum for females, and charities £94.
