Stainby is nominally in the civil parish of Gunby and Stainby, although the parish is now administered as part of the Colsterworth district parishes.[2] Stainby had been a parish in its own right until 1931.[3] Adjacent villages include Buckminster, North Witham, Colsterworth, Gunby, Sewstern and Skillington.
There are no shops or public houses - the nearest are in Colsterworth. The church, on Main Road, is dedicated to St Peter. The former Stainby quarry is an event venue for vehicle off-roading.[5]
Historyedit
Stainby is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Stigandebi".[6] The remains of a Motte, probably associated with the former Manor House, stand in the village. It is known as Tower Hill.[4][7][8]
On 1 April 1931 the parish was abolished and merged with Gunby to form "Gunby and Stainby".[9]
