EspañolSTANTONBURY
'Stantonbury' is a district of Milton Keynes, England. It is situated at the northern edge, between Great Linford and Wolverton. It is largely residential, but the greater proportion is taken up by two secondary schools (Stantonbury Campus and Bury Lawn), a leisure centre with a 33m swimming pool, and an all-weather, competition standard, athletics track.
Stantonbury is one of the former villages of Buckinghamshire that were absorbed into the new city of Milton Keynes in the 1960s. The village name is an Old English language word, and means 'fortified building by a farm on stony ground'.
As well as Stantonbury itself, the 'Civil Parish of Stantonbury' includes the districts of Bancroft/Bancroft Park, Blue Bridge, Bradville and Linford Wood.
The population of the parish of Stantonbury grew from 19 according to the 1971 census to 3,938 according to the 1981 census. By the 2001 census, its population had reached 9,010[1].
The residential Bancroft district is divided by Shenley Brook into Bancroft Park to the north and Bancroft to the south. The brook valley here is part of the flood control system and there is a permanent wetland with associated plants and wild-life.
The foundations of a Romano-British farm are to be seen in what is now the North Loughton Park, overlooking the Shenley Brook. The famous Concrete Cows are at the southern end of the park.
The Bancrofts comprise just half the H2/H3/V5/V6 grid square, which is divided by the West Coast Main Line that also is the parish boundary, with Stacey Bushes (in Wolverton and Greenleys parish) on the other side of the track. Monks Way (H3, A422) bounds the parish from the neighboring Bradwell.

As well as the ancient woodland, this district is mainly for high-tech industry. Because of its elevation, it is best known in Milton Keynes as the site for the telecommunications tower. It was originally part of the Linford demesne.
