The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and refers literally to boundary stone or marker stone. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Stanes. The village of Stone adjoins the village of Hartwell where the architect Clough Williams-Ellis designed the village hall in 1910. The parish church is dedicated to St John the Baptist, and is dated 1273. The graveyard contains the grave of Admiral Smyth.
During World War II, a Prisoner of War camp was located in Stone. The camp was known to house Italian prisoners from 1942 to 1946 and consisted mostly of tents with just one hut. A 1945 aerial view of the camp can be seen on Google Earth, this shows camp buildings, on what is now the Meadoway housing estate adjacent to Sedrup Lane. Remains of the camp were still evident on the site in the 1950s.
In the early 19th century an asylum was opened in Stone for people with disabilities or mental illnesses. It was closed in 1991, and the vast expanse of land has since been given over to a new housing estate. Initially it was proposed that the Hospital site should be saved and converted but attempts failed because the government insisted it be demolished as it was allegedly more economical. All that remains are the staff houses and the grade-II asylum chapel which is closed and boarded pending its conversion into 3 dwellings.
