Staunton on Wye is a relatively unpopulated civil parish in West Herefordshire, which is perhaps one of the most uninhabited locations of England. The parish of Staunton, which includes Moorhampton and Bredwardine, is a key player in trading in Herefordshire. The population of this parish taken at the 2011 census was 213. Recently, the village has become a growth area for various forms of development, unfortunately several developments have actively sort to undermine local planning rules and neighbourhood development frameworks, which has tarnished the reputation of the village to some extent. The most significant development in Staunton-on-wye in recent years is OakChurch, the local farm shop-cum-superstore. Despite its humble beginnings as a roadside shack selling strawberries and other soft fruit it has grown into a business selling everything from garden supplies to home decor. The sale of soft fruit still makes up a large portion of the business. This can be seen in the many hectares of local farmland that have been converted to polytunnels, resulting in Staunton's unglamorous nickname of Staunton-on-plastic!
