Stanway and Stanton

4 November 2003

As Teresa has been feeling much better, we undertake a little local sightseeing. Earlier in the year, I showed Helen and Juliet around two of our neighbouring villages, Stanway and Stanton. We returned to take some pictures.

The village church of St Peter in Stanway		Gatehouse to Stanway House Stanway House is a 17^th Century manor house, open to the public during the summer months and the residence of Lord Niedpath More about Stanway House
St Peter’s church – interior looking east		Stanway House from the neighbouring churchyard – the large window is of the banqueting hall
St Peter’s church – exterior looking west
Stanton – the main street Stanton, lying within a private estate, is notably lacking in overt modernisation and commercialisation, thus preserving the appearance of a picture-book Cotswold village		Stanton – the village green
St Michael’s church – interior looking east		Probably built on the site of a Saxon church, the church of St Michael and All Angels dates from the 12^th Century, two Norman arches surviving in the nave, though most of the fabric was added or restored in the 15^th Century or later
