Churches of the British Isles

St Michael's Church, Stoney Stanton, is on the eastern side of Nock Verges, with New Road on its southern flank, separated by a green that used to hold railway sidings for the quarry on the other side of New Road. The church existed by 1149, but the present building is largely the result of work in the late 1300s and 1400s. The chancel and south aisle were added in 1842, while both north and south aisles were built or extended in 1888 and 1882 respectively.

Stoney Stanton Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stands on the eastern side of Hinckley Road, just sixty-five metres or so south of the junction with Carey Hill Road. It was built in 1886 on land adjoining his house that was donated by the ancestor of the photo-taker. It is a very narrow building on a narrow plot of the size of a terraced cottage, but with a more recent extension on the back to increase its footprint. Today it serves as Stoney Stanton Methodist Church.
