context_page_description: Stanton Long is a small village and civil parish situated in the district of Corve Dale, Shropshire, England. It is one of three parishes in the local area, including Easthope and Shipton. In the National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868, it was described as:
  "a parish in the hundred of Munslow, county Salop, 7½ miles S.W. of Much Wenlock, its post town, and 10 W. of Bridgnorth. The village, which is small, is situated on the river Corve, and on the road from Skipton to Holdgate. The inhabitants are agricultural. The parish includes the townships of Brocton and Patton."
context_section_description: St. Michael and All Angels is located in the heart of Stanton Long village and is the second parish church to have served the community. Due to the movement of local residents going southwards, Stanton Long provided a more suitable location than Patton thus justifying the construction of a new parish church. One of its defining features is the entrance door with iron scrollwork. Its construction dates back to the 13th century. Although major repairs were carried out in 1842 and 1869–70, features such as the Bell-cote, Bells, Vestry, Porch and Windows require restoration or repair.
  The church contains a parish war memorial in form of marble tablet to local men who died serving in both World Wars, and a decorated metal plaque to Wallace Jones (killed in action in Palestine in the First War).
  The River Corve is a tributary within the Teme drainage basin that reaches typical highs of 2.5 meters and lows of 0.77 meters. The river runs southwards to the east of Brockton and works its way past the nearby village of Shipton to the west of Stanton Long. It then joins the River Teme at the town of Ludlow approximately 8.5 kilometres to the south.
