In the 1086 Domesday Book it is named "Staintone", with 39 households, land and a mill.[2]

The parish church is a Grade II listed building dedicated to Saint Andrew and dating from 1300. It was restored in 1886, and again in 1914 after falling into ruin in the 17th century.[3]

Stainton le Vale CE School was recognised as a Church of England public elementary school in 1873; it appears to have closed in the summer of 1934.[4]
