Market Stainton is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.[2] It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north from the market town of Horncastle.
History
A hoard of Roman coins was found in 1916, dated between CE 296 and CE 305. The coins are held in Grantham museum.[3]
The village is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Staintone", with 28 households, 80 acres (0.3 km2) of meadow, and two mills.[4]
A Tumulus, Ranby Hoe, survived until the 19th century, when it was removed to permit ploughing – on 1924 Ordnance Survey maps it is shown as Beacon Hill.[5]
The parish church, dating from the 13th century, is a Grade II listed building dedicated to St Michael, and built of greenstone, limestone and red brick.[6] The church is now disused and it may be made redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln.[7]
Market Stainton Hall is a Grade II listed brick-built country house.[8] In 1872 there was a Wesleyan chapel.[9]
From 1943 to 1948 the RAF operated an ammunition depot, RAF Market Stainton.[10]
Community
Market Stainton is a village of 35 residents,[7] but has no amenities. Lincolnshire InterConnect buses provide local public transport.[11]
The ecclesiastical parish is part of The Asterby Group of the Deanery of Horncastle. Services are held at St Mary's church at Horncastle, as St Michael's is in disrepair – there are plans to refurbish the building.[11][12]
