A History of Stainforth
The chapters of this publication are available in PDF format and can be read online.
Background to the publication
As the year 2000 approached, Stainforth Parish Council sought the views of the village on how the event should be marked. A questionnaire elicited a number of worthwhile suggestions, but it was clear that a history of the village received the fullest support. Those willing to research and write formed the Stainforth History Group.
In July 2000, an exhibition of photographs and artefacts from bygone days was held in the Village Hall, which stimulated much interest and provided encouragement for the project, and a photograph of residents was taken on the village green.
A successful application was made to the Millennium Festival Awards for All to provide funding for this publication and to frame a copy of the 1844 Tithe Map for permanent exhibition in the Village Hall.
