History
At the time of the Norman Conquest of England, Staining was part of the hundred of Amounderness, in the possession of Earl Tostig, the brother of King Harold II.[1] Tostig died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge and his lands were subsequently taken over by the Normans. Between 1069 and 1086 William the Conqueror gave Amounderness to Anglo-Norman baron Roger the Poitevin.[2] Staining was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Staininghe.[3] The village was estimated in that survey to contain six carucates of land.[3]
