Stanton by Dale (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Stanton by Dale is a village in the South East of Derbyshire, England. It lies south of Ilkeston and North of Sandiacre. Since 1974 it has been part of the Erewash Borough. Mentioned in the Domesday Book Survey of 1086, Stanton-by-Dale is believed to derive its name from stone quarrying in the area. During the 13th and 14th centuries the church and much land in the parish was owned by nearby Dale Abbey. On its dissolution in 1538, the Abbey's property in Stanton was granted to the Babington family. In Elizabethan times, this was sold on to Michael Willoughby of Risley.
