Stanton by Bridge is a village and parish in Derbyshire. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 246.[1]

Description

St Michael's Church is on some of the highest ground. The church mostly dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, though with some Norman stonework. The porches and roofs of the church were rebuilt in 1860.[2]

As its name suggests Stanton by Bridge is located next to a major bridg: the ancient Swarkestone Bridge, which carries the main A514 road over the River Trent.
