Stockbridge was a sleepy English townand the one-time temporary home of the Doctor during his fifth incarnation. His friends Izzy Sinclair and Maxwell Edison lived there.
While possessed by an elemental being which could "possess" technology, the Doctor's TARDIS appeared in Stockbridge in the distant past leaving an imprint in a limestone quarry there, before traveling forward through time. (DWM: The Stockbridge Horror)
During World War II, an Army base resided there. (DWM: The Tides of Time)
While living there temporarily during the early 1980s, the Doctor, while playing cricket (which, he did frequently in the village) a ball switched places with an Army hand grenade from the past, alerting the Doctor to the disruptions in the universe caused by Melanicus' mis-use of the Events Synthesizer. After a strange odyssey, the Doctor and his companion Sir Justin (who he had met along the way) confronted the fiend in a church in Stockbridge, now ruined by the Millenium Wars. Sir Justin destroyed Melanicus, though only at the cost of his own life and the Doctor discovered that the name of the church: St. Justinian. (DWM: The Tides of Time)
After these apocalyptic events, the Doctor met Maxwell Edison, a nerdy UFO chaser regarded by the locals (with some justification) as something of a kook. Maxwell and the Doctor visited an alien ship in Earth orbit "haunted" by the same discorporate elemental which could take over the TARDIS later. Knowing the ship would break up when its orbit decayed, enabling Maxwell to impress the folk of Stockbridge with a successful prophecy. (DW: Stars Fell on Stockbridge)
Years later, in his eighth incarnation, the Doctor met Maxwell Edison, again. This time, the Celestial Toymaker had turned every Human in the village except Maxwell and his young friend Izzy into dolls which he could control. After the defeat of the Toymaker, Izzy left with the Doctor in the TARDIS. (DWM: Endgame) Following many adventures together, the Doctor returned Izzy to Stockbridge on the same day that she had left. (DWM: Oblivion)
