Stanion is a village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England.

The village is noted in the 1086 Domesday Book as being in the hundred of Corby in Northamptonshire, with 23 households.

This is a 7 ft long whalebone, although tradition avers that it is actually part of the skeleton of a Dun Cow.

This was a fabled beast from English folklore, and according to various versions of the story the Stanion cow was either killed or died of a broken heart after being tricked by a witch.

[7] The 1777 Northhamptonshire Militia List for Corby Hundred shows 22 men enrolled for Stanion.
