In the 1870s, Stanthorne was described as "a township in Davenham parish, Cheshire; 1 mile WNW of Middlewich.

Stanthorne Hall was built between 1804 and 1807 by Richard Dutton and is a country house to the west of the village.

Another Grade II listed building is Stanthorne Mill on the River Wheelock.

The gender ratio of Stanthorne at the present time is very equal, with 82 males and 71 females.

[16] In January 2013 proposals were brought forward for the nearby towns of Winsford and Middlewich to be bisected by a new High Speed Two rail line.

[17] Many resident associations and various wildlife organisations are against the new line as it could cause high levels of disruption not just socially but also environmentally in the local area.

[19] It is thought that a young woman who lived in Stanthorne lodge unmarried and alone was very similar to the character of Miss Havisham.
