[1] A brook flows from the south through the parish, heading for the River Trent which it joins about 4 miles (6.4 km) to the north.

[4] Staunton Harold (then in the parish of Breedon) and nearby Ashby-de-la-Zouch were two of the communities that were in West Goscote hundred.

[6] Sir Robert Shirley, 4th Baronet had the present Church of England chapel of the Holy Trinity built in 1653.

One is in the chancel and reads Sir Robert Shirley Baronet Founder of this church anno domini 1653 on whose soul God hath mercy.

[2]Sir Robert did not manage to have the chapel completed: the Commonwealth authorities imprisoned him in the Tower of London and he died there in 1656.

[2] After the Restoration of the Monarchy Richard Shepheard[5] completed the chapel in 1665[2] for the young Sir Seymour Shirley, 5th Baronet (1647–67).

Although the architecture is Gothic the furnishings are Jacobean, including extensive panelling, box pews, the pulpit and a west gallery with an organ that predates the chapel.

In the chancel is a monument with the white marble semi-reclining figure of Robert Shirley, Viscount Tamworth, who died in 1714.
