Stanton Long is a small village and civil parish situated in the district of Corve Dale, Shropshire, England.

In the National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868, it was described as: The name Stanton can be interpreted in Anglo-Saxon as a 'Stone farm/settlement', due to the topographic features it resides on.

It is restricted by the two nearby parishes of Shipton and Easthope, which causes it to become thin in the middle of the boundary and wider near the north and south borders.

[6] In the 17th and 18th centuries the village was known as 'Dirty Stanton' due to the area's abundance in clay soil, making the roads muddy.

The land between Craven Arms and Much Wenlock sits on top of a Silurian limestone ridge, rich in fossil fauna.

Fossil species such as corals, brachiopods, trilobites and ostracods exist along this 30 kilometre stretch of limestone, which is identified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

[20] St. Michael and All Angels is located in the heart of Stanton Long village and is the second parish church to have served the community.

Due to the movement of local residents going southwards, Stanton Long provided a more suitable location than Patton thus justifying the construction of a new parish church.

[25] The river runs southwards to the east of Brockton and works its way past the nearby village of Shipton to the west of Stanton Long.
