Stoke Bishop

Stoke Bishop is a suburb and ecclesiastical parish in the north-west of Bristol, England, of which Sneyd Park is a subdivision. Bordered by The Downs, the River Avon and the River Trym, it is located between the suburbs of Westbury-on-Trym and Sea Mills. Although relatively low, Stoke Bishop's population has significantly increased in recent years due to the infilling of former school and company playing fields. It also increases greatly in term time because of the influx of students to the large campus of Bristol University halls of residence situated on the edge of The Downs.

Within Stoke Bishop are the parish church of St Mary Magdalene (CofE); a primary school, Stoke Bishop C of E Primary, sometimes called Cedar Park, because of its location; and a village hall, which is used for a variety of activities from meetings of a local history group to dog training and karate. Next to the primary school is Bristol Croquet Club, which has had many influential international members. Stoke Bishop Cricket Club play at Coombe Dingle Sports Complex. The cricket club has two senior men's XIs and a junior section composed of U9, U11, U13, U15 and U17 teams.
