The church is 5 miles south from Grantham, and at the western side of the Lincolnshire Vales in South Kesteven.
  St Andrew and St Mary's is significant for its association with, and memorials to, the Easton Hall Cholmeley and the Stoke Rochford Hall Turnor families.

Stoke priests were separate incumbents of St Andrew's Church North Stoke, and St Mary's Church South Stoke (South Stoke cum Easton), the combined living shared approximately equally between the two churches as a 'mediety'. On 13 June 1776 North and South Stoke parishes were merged, with South Stoke becoming a dual dedication.
