Stoke Dry is a tiny village of around 14 houses, just two miles south of Uppingham. It overlooks Eyebrook reservoir and has views into Leicestershire & Northamptonshire across the Welland valley. St Andrew's church dates to the 12th century and has a number of medieval paintings inside which may be of interest. It is built of honey-coloured stone, like many of the surrounding buildings. The churchyard is fairly small and sits on a mild slope, with the entrance at the bottom.
