Stanton Long () is a small village and civil parish situated in the district of Corve Dale, Shropshire, England. It is one of three parishes in the local area, including Easthope and Shipton. In the National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868, it was described as: :''"a parish in the hundred of Munslow, county Salop, 7½ miles S.W. of Much Wenlock, its post town, and 10 W. of Bridgnorth. The village, which is small, is situated on the river Corve, and on the road from Skipton to Holdgate. The inhabitants are agricultural. The parish includes the townships of Brocton and Patton."'' ==History== The name Stanton can be interpreted in Anglo-Saxon as a ‘Stone farm/settlement’, due to the topographic features it resides on. The ‘Long’ element of the place name refers to the parish’s unusually elongated shape.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Shropshire/Stanton%20Long )〕 Although the parish boundaries have varied slightly over time, it still preserves its elongated shape to this day. It is restricted by the two nearby parishes of Shipton and Easthope, which causes it to become thin in the middle of the boundary and wider near the north and south borders. The actual settlement of Stanton Long is located in the south and other townships such as Brockton and Patton are in the north.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10366483/boundary )〕 Historically the placename was also written as "Long Stanton". Stanton Long’s history can be traced back to the 13th century according to the 1086 Domesday Book entry, where it was under ownership of Roger de Lacy from Earl Roger. This entry was then categorised under the parish of ''Stantune'' which became separated into two estates; Stanton Long and Holdgate in the 12th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/shropshire3.html#stanton )〕 Back then it was under the hundred of Patton and had a total number of just three households consisting of 1 smallholder and 2 slaves. This was considered a very small settlement compared to other Domesday settlements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】) Domesday Entry">url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO5790/stanton-long/ )〕 In the 17th, 18th centuries the village was known as 'Dirty Stanton' due to the areas abundance in clay soil, making the roads muddy. The first census data recorded for the civil parish can be found back in 1801 where it had a total population of 206. This figure grew at a constant rate for the next five decades until 1841 where it reached its peak of 327 inhabitants. Since this period, the population has been slowly declining until the recent census in 2011, where it has been its lowest on record. There are a number of listed buildings in the parish, all of which were put under the Heritage Protection Reform from the 1970s onwards. Some of these buildings include the Malt House, Lower Farm House and St. Michael and All Angels Church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/protection/process/national-heritage-list-for-england/?SearchTerm=stanton+long&SearchType=exact )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanton Long」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
