Stainsby, Yorkshire

Stainsby is a deserted mediæval village near Thornaby-on-Tees, Yorkshire, in the North Riding. The settlement was referred to in Domesday as `three carucates at Steinesbi'. The manor was held at the end of the 13th century by Walter de Stainsby. By 1757 all but one of the farms in the village had been dispersed to other parts of the estate; only Stainsby Grange Farm remained. The village survives as a series of earthworks and buried remains in the fields south and east of Stainsby Grange Farm. The site is within the council area of Stockton-on-Tees.
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1016352.
