Little Stanney

The land was held by "Restald from Earl Hugh" (a Norman baron).

[2] The village was originally part of the Stoak Parish in the Wirral Hundred.

Part of the parish was transferred to the Municipal Borough of Ellesmere Port in 1967.

[3][4] The Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet is situated to the north and east of the village.

The nearby Stanney High School was renamed Cheshire Oaks High School, but has now closed and been amalgamated into the University of Chester Church of England Academy.
