In more detail, the northern part of Stokeford underwent a major transformation. The large farmland was replaced by a new housing estate, and a retirement home was established where the post office previously stood. The shops were also replaced by a business park, indicating a shift towards commercial development.
On the other hand, the southern part of the village saw the construction of more houses replacing the gardens. The old large house was converted into a residential home. However, the primary school remained a constant in the village structure over the years, indicating the sustained importance of education in the community.
