In 2007 it had a population of 39. At the 2011 census the population remained less than 100 and was included in the civil parish of Seaton. With only 14 homes this is a quiet village with a mediaeval church dedicated to Saint Andrew. The parish church has mediaeval wall paintings and Romanesque chancel arch. A myth claims that the Gunpowder Plot conspirators met in a small room above the porch; the only basis for this is that the manor was part of the estate of Sir Everard Digby. Stoke Dry is known as the site of the Eyebrook Reservoir located at the bottom of the hill. The reservoir was used by Avro Lancasters flying from RAF Scampton as the final practice run for Guy Gibson's No. 617 Squadron RAF prior to Operation Chastise, the Dambusters attack on the Ruhr valley dams on the night of the 16/17 May 1943. In 2009 the village was one of three (along with Lyddington and Thorpe by Water) to become the first in the UK to benefit from superfast broadband using sub-loop unbundling [3] References{{commons category}}1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/data_cube_table_page.jsp?data_theme=T_POP&data_cube=N_AREA_A&u_id=10079585&c_id=10001043&add=Y |title=A vision of Britain through time |accessdate=21 March 2009 |publisher=University of Portsmouth}} {{Rutland-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rutland.gov.uk/ppimageupload/Image27657.PDF |title=Rutland Civil Parish Populations |accessdate=21 March 2009 |publisher=Rutland County Council |year=2001 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012204902/http://www.rutland.gov.uk/ppimageupload/Image27657.PDF |archivedate=12 October 2007 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Rutland Telecom FTTC|url=http://www.rutlandtelecom.co.uk/lyddington}} 1 : Villages in Rutland |
