Our Background Story …
Stanton St Quintin is a small village and parish in the North West of Wiltshire; about 4 miles north of Chippenham and 5 miles south of Malmesbury. The parish includes Lower Stanton St Quintin, to the east of the A429 as well as Buckley Barracks and part of Hullavington Airfield. It is partly bounded by the M4 motorway.
The Conservation Area includes all the traditional buildings in the settlement and the surrounding agricultural land which provides a setting to this village. The Conservation Area is small and compact and is concentrated on the older part of the settlement, which now has a number of 20th Century developments to the north and to the south. There is a significant grouping of Army Barracks houses from the 1950s on the north side of the settlement beyond the Conservation Area with more recent infilling up to its boundary. Most boundaries consist of hedges or fences but little stone walling. The main visual links with the surrounding countryside occur at the village entrances and exits.
