MEONSTOKE, parish and hundred
Old English 'dependent farm (stoc) by the river Meon', or 'farm dependent on Meon' (ie: WEST plus EAST MEON).
The place is described in text Cobbett 1830
... you can see up this valley ... as far as West-Meon, and down it as far as Soberton. Corhampton, Warnford, Meon-Stoke and Droxford come within these two points; so that here are six villages on this bourne within the space of about five miles.
... Parson Poulter lives at Meon-Stoke, which is not a mile further down [from Exton]. So that this valley has something in it besides picturesque views! I asked some countrymen how Poulter and Baines did; but, their answer contained too much of irreverence for me to give it here.
