Stockerston is a village and civil parish in the Harborough District of Leicestershire, England, located on the border with Rutland, by the Eye Brook. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 35. The population remained less than 100 at the 2011 census and thus is incorporated in the count for the neighbouring civil parish of Horninghold. For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Stockerston. [The parish of Stockerston] includes, in the south, the territory of the former hamlet of Holyoaks which was transferred from Stoke Dry in Rutland (the neighbouring county) in 1885. The total area of the parish is 1,534 acres, of which Holyoaks accounts for about 500 acres. Holyoaks was perhaps divided from Stockerston by the small stream crossing the parish from Holyoaks Wood to the Eye Brook.
