Stanton Lacy
Stanton Lacy is a small village and geographically large civil parish located in south Shropshire, England, 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Ludlow.Ludlow Castle and an early neighbouring settlement (possibly Dinham) were just about in existence at the time of the Domesday Book survey and therefore may have contributed towards the high population count and taxable value for the manor of Stanton.[6] What remained of Stanton Lacy's southern part was then unaffected until 1884; this southern part (south of the watercourse known as 'Hope Gutter') was entirely removed in that year with its transfer largely to Bromfield, but also Bitterley (land to the east of the Ledwyche Brook) and the new East Hamlet parish.Whilst the parish used to be able to boast two schools, four Methodist chapels, a post office, pubs and a football team, none of these now remain.The population of the parish has declined greatly since the late 19th century and it now serves as a popular retirement destination with a small farming community remaining too.
