Stanton by Dale, also written as Stanton-by-Dale and sometimes referred to as simply Stanton,[1] is a village and civil parish in the south east of Derbyshire, England. According to the University of Nottingham English Place-names project, the settlement name Stanton-by-Dale could mean 'Stony farm or settlement', stān (Old English) for stone or rock; and tūn (Old English) for an enclosure; farmstead; village; or an estate.[2] It lies 2.65 miles (4.26 km) south of Ilkeston and 1.31 miles (2.11 km) north of Sandiacre. Since 1974 it has been part of the Erewash borough. The village is halfway between the cities of Derby 6.98 miles (11.23 km) and Nottingham 6.81 miles (10.96 km), as the crow flies, from each city. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 505.[3]
