The two trees standing near where planted here in commemoration of the Coronation of their Gracious Majesties King George V and Queen Mary 1911. As this stone emblematic of local industry testifies
In to Kell Gate Green through the "Kissing Gate"
With thanks to the Friends of Stainton and Thornton Green Spaces group and the Pennyman Trust.
Kell Gate Green All paths within the Quarry and Green are grass or wood chipped.
The steep terrain and steps make Stainton Quarry difficult to access by people with limited mobility.
Some parts may also be muddy and have rough ground.
We didn't get to see the Stainsby Deserted Medieval Village.
Which is said to be just some lumps and bumps in the ground..
The medieval village of Stainsby, situated on the east bank of Stainsby Beck. The earliest known reference to a settlement in the area is contained in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it is recorded as 'three carucates at Steinesbi'. The manor was held at the end of the thirteenth 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. The village survives as a series of earthworks and buried remains in the fields south and east of Stainsby Grange Farm.
