Working with the community, for the community - present and future
About Our Parish
The Parish of Stanley and Stanley Common is a vibrant, thriving and friendly community of some 2,000 people living in over 900 dwellings in the two villages that form the Parish. At the last Census in 2001 there were some 400 children and young people under the age of 16 yrs. and some 350 retired people resident in the Parish. Some 1240 residents, the majority of the working population, were in employment.
The Parish is extremely proud of its social history and industrial heritage. The welcoming village signposts and parish logo represent this in the ‘Headstocks’ for mining ‘Tractor’ for farming and the ‘Windmill’, that still exists today at Cat and Fiddle Lane in the neighbouring parish of Dale Abbey, for flour milling. Historically it was these three industries together with brick-making, rope-making and quarrying which were the main occupations and source of prosperity for local people during the last century and provided the wealth which contributed to the development of the parish.

People are very community orientated and proud to live in the Parish. They take great pride, in looking after the vulnerable and elderly parishioners, providing recreation facilities for the young people and also looking after the surroundings in which they live.
This is a testimony to the forward looking and caring community.
