Modern Parish
The civil parish consists of the land north H3 Monks Way to the south, the city boundary to the west, the Great Ouse to the north and the A5 road to the east. The V4 Watling Street becomes Queen Eleanor Street here as it follows the original Stony Stratford bypass. Its districts are
- Stony Stratford itself (defined H1 Ridgeway to the south, the city boundary to the west, the river to the north and the V4 Queen Eleanor Street to the east)
- Galley Hill (H1 to the south, V4 to the west and the A5 to the north-east).
- Fullers Slade (H2 to the south, H1 to the north, V4 Watling Street to the west and the A5 to the east).
The modern civil parish was established in 2001.
