History
Originally Stanthorne was a township in the ancient parish of Davenham and eventually became a civil parish in 1866. In 1936 a few boundary changes occurred resulting in the addition of a few acres of Clive and Kinderton but the loss of the 358 acres of Winsford. The buildings within Stanthorne include eleven Grade II listed buildings. Stanthorne Hall was built between 1804-1807 by Richard Dutton and is a country house situated to the west of the village. Another important Grade II listed building is Stanthorne Mill located on the River Wheelock. This is an ancient mill site and some of the mill machinery is still present in the interior.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
