Background

History

The ancient parish of Stainton (also known as Stainton-in-Cleveland) formed by the split of the Soke of Acklam with Acklam taking Middlesbrough and Linthorpe while Stainton took Coulby (west side of Coulby Newham), Hemlington, Ingleby Barwick, Maltby, Stainsby and Thornaby. Each area had gained separate parishes by the time the now civil parish of Stainton was temporarily abolished in 1968 with the creation of the Teesside civil parish. In 1986, a new parish was formed called Stainton and Thornton from the remaining area of the former Stainton parish; part of the former parish was given to Maltby in 1968.
