History

At the time of the Norman Conquest of England, Staining was part of the hundred of Amounderness, in the possession of Earl Tostig, the brother of King Harold II.[2] Tostig died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge and his lands were subsequently taken over by the Normans. Between 1069 and 1086 William the Conqueror gave Amounderness to Anglo-Norman baron Roger the Poitevin.[3] Staining was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Staininghe.[4] The village was estimated in that survey to contain six carucates of land.[4]

Historically, Staining, as part of the township of Hardhorn-with-Newton, was in the ecclesiastical parish of Poulton-le-Fylde, in the hundred of Amounderness, an ancient division of the historic county of Lancashire.[2][5] Today, Staining is a civil parish, governed by a parish council.

Staining is part of the electoral ward of Staining and Weeton. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 3,146.[6]
