Stoven is a village and former civil parish now in the parish of Brampton with Stoven, in the East Suffolk district, in the county of Suffolk, England, located approximately 4½ miles (7½ km) north east of Halesworth and 5½ miles (8½ km) south of Beccles. In 1961 the parish had a population of 110.[1] The mid-2005 population estimate for "Brampton with Stoven" parish was 460, reducing to 427 at the 2011 Census.[2] In 1987 the parish was merged with Brampton to form "Brampton with Stoven".[3] Brampton is located just to the west, Uggeshall to the south and Sotterley to the north.

The parish church is dedicated to St Margaret and is a Grade II* listed building.[4][5] It was threatened with demolition and sale in the late 1980s and early 1990s before being listed when its medieval structure was revealed.[4] The church re-opened in 1996 and restoration work is believed to be ongoing.[4]

Stoven has few basic services. Children attend primary school in Brampton and high school in Beccles. The local public house, a 17th-century Grade II listed building,[5][6] re-opened in July 2008 after having been closed for three and a half years, but closed again in early 2011 with plans to convert it to residential use.[6]
