Stanwick is a village in Northamptonshire. There was a Roman settlement at Stanwick and it was later recorded in the Domesday Book as Stanwige. In Anglo Saxon times it was known as Stanwigga. It is thought that the name means Stone dwellings, Stone farm or Stone village. The first national census in 1801 records the population to be 332 which had more than doubled by 1861. By the beginning of the 20th century the population had risen to approximately 900 and there was only a small increase over the next 60 years. In recent times residential development has nearly doubled this figure with the 2001 census recording a population of 1,924.
