In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Stantonbury like this:
STANTONBURY, a parish in Newport-Pagnell district, Bucks; 1¾ mile ENE of Wolverton r. station. It has a post-office under Stony-Stratford. Acres, 750. Real property, £1,366. Pop., 29. Houses, 7. The living is a vicarage, united with New Bradwell, in the diocese of Oxford. Value, £180.* Patron, Earl Spencer. ...
The old church is partly Norman. The new church, schools and vicarage, were built in 1859-60, at a cost of £6,000, two-thirds borne by subscription among the shareholders of the Northwestern Railway Company, to provide accommodation for their workmen. The church is in the early decorated English style.
