STANLEY is a township and chapelry, in the parish, of Spondon,
three-quarters of a mile south-west from the West Hallam station of
the Great Northern railway, 6 north-east from Derby and 11 west from

The church of St. Andrew, a small and ancient edifice of stone, consists
of chancel, nave, south porch, vestry and a turret on the western
gable containing 2 bells dated 1661 : the small round-headed Norman
door in the south wall gives evidence of the existence of a church
here in the 12th century; a small lancet light near it is Early English,
as are some other features of the building; which was no doubt rebuilt
about 1200: the east window and those inserted in 1877 are in the
Decorated style: the nave has a small piscina and there is an octagonal
14th century font: the carved oak pulpit is of Jacobean date : on
the floor, close to the pulpit, is a brass, inscribed to Sir John

1621 : there are two small stained windows: the church was restored
and partially rebuilt in 1875, the chancel being enlarged and a chancel
arch erected : the church affords two sittings. The register of baptisms
