Stanway is a village and civil parish on the western edge of Colchester in Essex, England. It mixes traditional countryside with more recent suburban development and good commuter links into the town, so you get both farmland and housing estates within the same parish.
The locality is probably best known for Stanway House, a Jacobean manor with noteworthy gardens and a dramatic gravity-fed fountain that draws visitors and occasional events. Local life combines small-scale industry, independent shops and community amenities such as the village hall and parish church, giving it a quietly active social character while remaining closely connected to the wider services of Colchester.
