Stillington, North Yorkshire

Stillington is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Stivelincton in the Bulford hundred.

The lordship of the manor was in the possession of the Archbishop of York St Peter at the time of the Norman invasion and remained so afterwards.

During the first year of the Commonwealth, many church lands were put up for sale and Croft purchased the manor outright.

[3][4] The name is derived from the name of a local Saxon settler, Styfel, and the Old English word tun, meaning farm.

The River Foss flows southwards just outside the eastern end of the village.

[10] A National School was built on The Green in 1821 on the site of the current village hall.

A Bowling Green was created in 1978, with a club house added in 1997 with a Lottery grant.

The current Grade II Listed building dates from the late 15th century, but has been subject to rebuilding.
