Stoven is a village and former civil parish now in the parish of Brampton with Stoven, in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north east of Halesworth and 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south of Beccles. In 1961 the parish had a population of 110.[1] In 1987 the parish was merged with Brampton to form Brampton with Stoven[2] and the mid-2005 population estimate for the expanded parish was 460.[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 and has been converted to residential use.[6]
