No settlements were recorded in Domesday Book,[1] and the area was part of the king's large Calne estate.[2] Stockley, together with Stock to the north, anciently formed a triangle of farmland to the south of Calne town; Stockley's southern boundary was the Roman road, and the boundary with Stock is uncertain.[1] The Wiltshire Victoria County History recounts the history of the farmsteads, most of which were along the roads at the edges of the triangle.[1] From 1763 some of the farms were part of the Bowood estate; most of that part was sold by the Marquess of Lansdowne in 2001.[2]

Two farms lent their names to present-day hamlets: Broad's Green[3] and Mile Elm.

The village is within the civil parish of Calne Without. Wiltshire Council is the unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.

In 1841 a Primitive Methodist chapel was built at Stockley. It closed in 1966 and has since been demolished.[4]

Stockley was transferred from Calne ecclesiastical parish to Heddington in 1887;[5] today the parish is part of the Oldbury grouping.[6]
