The Sign
The sign was made by Brian Gaze from cast metal in 2000 to commemorate the Millennium.

The top of the sign is semicircular in shape depicting the church of All Saints, which is surrounded by corn stalks and a pheasant emphasising the rural nature of the village. On the left is a cricketer  representing the local cricket club and a farmer on the right representing agriculture. Above the village name are three panels:

Left panel: showing the bridge over the brook

Centre panel: Modern farming technique with a tractor and plough

Right panel: The Stansfield Compasses local public house

The Name and Population
The population was 221 at the 2011 census. It was called Stanesfelda, Stenesfelda in 1086 and Stanesfelde in 1095. The name means "The open land of a man called Stan", from Old English, or alternatively, "The open land of the stone", representing stony land or a standing stone, also from Old English.

Other Points of Interest
The present Church consists of the Chancel, Nave, South porch, - a doorway on the North side has been partly blocked with bricks- and the splendid Western tower which is over seventy feet high. The tower is C14, it was restored in 1896 and has recently been well restored again by the efforts of the Stansfield Church Restoration Committee and the whole village.
