Stainton is a village and a civil parish in the South Lakeland district, in the county of Cumbria, England, situated near the village of Sedgwick and the town of Kendal. It is near the main A590 road. Killington reservoir runs alongside the parish of Stainton. In the 19th century John Bartholomew described Stainton using this quote. :"Stainton, township and vil., Heversham par., Westmorland, in S. of co.- township, 1735 ac., pop. 388; vil., 4 miles S. of Kendal; P.O." ==The Village of Stainton== The name Stainton derives from the old English meaning of stoney farm/settlement. Stān, meaning "a stone, stone, rock" and tūn meaning "an enclosure, a farmstead, a village, an estate." Stainton used to be the site of an old roman settlement and is built on limestone. It is situated south east of the lake district national park, 5.3 miles south of the town of Kendal.

The chapel however is not used for religion reasons anymore. It was "erected in 1698" but efforts to convert it into a village hall began in 2003 due to it not being used and the need for a community area. On 22 November 2013 the conversion was complete and the chapel handed over to the charity who had funded this project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sandy2.wanadoo.co.uk/page2.html )〕 Historical Monuments The rich history of the parish can be observed by monuments which include Stainton bridge, Packhorse bridge, the Parish Church also known as ''St Thomas Crosscrake'' and "the principle monument, Sellet Hall." Wainwright wrote about the history stating that "it is a place of great antiquity" and also about how pleasant the parish was. The historical monuments could provide key data about the parish itself. What it was like in the past and also possibly what it will be like in the future, along with giving the parish character, pleasant surroundings and attractions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stainton, South Lakeland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
