Data from the 'Collectio Rerum Ecclesiasticarum' from the year 1842.

The place: STAINTON.     Church dedication: ST. WINIFRED.     Church type: Discharged Vicarage.

Area, 3,060 acres. Strafforth and Tickhill wapentake, S.D. - Population, 254 *2; Church-room, 120 *3; Net value, £168. -This Church, together with Tickhill, of which it was a member, was given to the Priory of Nostel, to which it was appropriated, and a Vicarage ordained therein, in 1490.

Patron and impropriator, the Earl of Scarborough.

Not mentioned in Pope Nicholas's Survey. Valued in the King's books at £5. 14s. 2d.; in 1818, at £80; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xviii. page 501, it is stated " Vicarage £11. 17s. per annum. Viscount Castleton is impropriator and patron. Now in regard we find but twenty families in Staynton, and it is but a mile from Brewell, therefore we think fit it be annexed to Brewell, and Helleby to Bramley, in the parish of Braithwell."

Augmented in 1722 with £200, to meet benefactions of £100 from Messrs. N. Pearson, George Pashley, Robert Pashley, Matthew Pursloe, and Thomas Tofield, and a legacy of £100 from the Rev. Robert Tune.
