Stanton Fitzwarren is a village and civil parish 3 miles (4.8 km) north-east of Swindon, in Wiltshire, England.

[3] The cylindrical font is an important Norman sculpture depicting eight virtues, eight vices, the Church, the Evil One and a six-winged seraph.

[5] The Swindon and Highworth Light Railway – from the Great Western Main Line at Swindon to Highworth – was built through Stanton Fitzwarren in 1879–81, although the original company was unable to open the line and sold it to the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1882.

[6] In 1883 the GWR finally opened the line to traffic, with three intermediate stations including one at Mill Lane, in the north of the village.

[6] Stanton House was built just south of the church in 1935, in traditional Cotswold style, for a New York businessman;[4] at the same time a 19th-century cottage at the north entrance to the site was repurposed as a lodge.
