Stoke Ash is a village and civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England. In 2011 its population was 314. There is evidence of Roman settlement in Stoke Ash. A collection of Roman coins and pottery pieces have been found in the area & there are Roman tiles in the wall of the tower over the doorway in the All Saints Church . The name 'Stoke', comes from 'stoc', which means a place or a secondary settlement in old English. The word 'Ash', comes from the Anglian word 'æsc', which means ash-tree. The White Horse pub is well known locally for good food and accommodation.

Thwaite (Pronounced ‘Twaite’ by the villagers) has a public house formerly The Bucks Head, which has recently undergone a radical refurbishment and specialises in vegetarian food. It is now named ‘The Walnut Tree'. There is a lovely old church, sadly now redundant, a recently restored 'school room' (used for small gatherings and parish meetings). Homes include several thatched cottages, interspersed with a number of individual houses. The population was149 in the 2011 census. The village name apparently comes from old english and means 'the clearing in the forest'.
