Stanton is a small, rural civil parish in East Staffordshire, Staffordshire, in the English midlands. Set amid rolling farmland and hedged fields, the settlement is characterised by a cluster of historic cottages and farmhouses, a parish church and a few scattered hamlets rather than a single high street. The landscape and field patterns reflect long-standing agricultural use, and several older buildings are locally listed or of vernacular interest.
Locally the community life centres on the church and village hall, with a mix of farming families and people who commute to nearby towns such as Burton upon Trent and Uttoxeter or to Derby for work. Visitors are drawn by the peaceful countryside and easy access to heritage and outdoor attractions within easy reach, from riverside walks along the River Dove to the historic sites of nearby Tutbury Castle and the hills of the Peak District.
