Stainton is a village in the south-west outskirts of Middlesbrough, in the Middlesbrough district, in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.

The village is in a shared civil parish and ward with Thornton called Stainton and Thornton. The ward had a population of approximately 2,300 as of 2005, measured at 2,890 in the 2011 census.[1] The civil parish has no school so the ward includes parts of Hemlington including Hemlington Hall Academy primary.

## History

[edit]

Stainton was named in the Domesday Book of 1086, when its manors were held by Earl Hugh of Acklam.[2] It has been a settlement since pre-Anglo-Saxon times, its name is of mixed origin with Old Norse "stan" and Old English "tun", in Modern English stone-town.

St Peter and St Paul Church dates back to the 12th century and is grade II* listed.[3][4][5] The former vicarage, Stainton House, dates from the 19th century and is Grade II listed.[6] Stainton Methodist Church, on Meldyke Lane, dates from 1840. The original village school, now the Memorial Hall, dates from 1844.

The Stainton public house, on Meldyke Lane, was first licensed in 1897, celebrating its centenary in 1997.[7] Stainton Quarry straddles Stainton Beck, between the villages of Stainton and Thornton in Middlesbrough. A footbridge joins it to Kell Gate Green on the other side of the beck. These countryside sites provide three hectares of community-run open green space.[8]

In 1961 the civil parish had a population of 581.[9] On 1 April 1968 the parish was abolished to form Teesside, part also went to Maltby.[10] Until 1974 it was in the North Riding of Yorkshire, from 1974 to 1996 it was in Cleveland.
