STOKE POGES

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 951 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STOKE POGES , a
village
  in the
south
  of Buckinghamshire, England, 3 M. N. of Slough, famous for its connexion with the poet
Thomas
  Gray. The church of St Giles has portions of Norman, Early English, and later
dates
 , and contains a fine Decorated canopied tomb and brasses of members of the family of Moleyns. A passage or cloister leading towards the ancient manor-
house
  contains some good
original
  stained-glass windows. Gray is buried beside his mother in the churchyard, and there is a
monument
  to his memory in the adjacent Stoke Park. The churchyard is generally considered to be the
original
  of the poet's Elegy in a Country Churchyard; and the manor-
house
  finds mention in his
Long
  Story. West End Cottage, where he often stayed, remains in altered form as Stoke Court. Burnham Beeches (q.v.), now preserved to public use, and a favourite resort of the poet, are 3 M. distant to the north-west.
