A shared history,
kept alive.
This collection brings together records and recollections of Stanton upon Hine Heath and the surrounding parish in Shropshire.
It preserves the detail of everyday life: the families in a census ledger, the faces in a school photograph, a cottage’s changing owners and the memories that might otherwise go unrecorded.

What’s in the archive?
71 supplied PDF documents, containing 1,160 pages. They include census compilations, personal and family histories, photographs, maps, newspaper cuttings, memorial inscriptions and book references.
Original reference numbers are retained throughout. Separate copies and related versions remain available, including the two supplied copies of the Stanton United photograph.
A little help with research.
Search checks document titles, descriptions and extracted page text. Results can take you straight to a matching page. Try variants of names and place spellings, particularly in census records.
Scanned pages use automatic text recognition where possible. Small type, handwriting, tables and faint images may not be fully searchable. The HTML version is an aid to discovery; always check the original PDF for names, dates and quotations.
The census collection is a document archive, rather than a verified database of individual people or households.
Original voices. Original sources.
Personal accounts are preserved as their contributors recorded them. Memories and historical reports can contain differing recollections or errors.
Credits and source information are retained in each PDF. Historic photographs used on this website are cropped from the supplied documents. Their originals remain available in the archive.
The map documents credit the National Library of Scotland. Other sources include local and national newspapers, family contributions and published parish material.
