The value was and is 20s.As may be gathered from its name, Stoney Stanton is set on rocky outcrops of igneous rock, granodiorite, a fact which has had its influence on its history.

Even in the eighteenth century, parish records show that gravel and stone were being removed from Carey (or quarry) Hill in the centre of the village.

Carey Hill and Hall's Court quarries were later filled in, but Clint Hill remains, a relic of the village's industrial heritage, now filled with water and a haven for wildlife.
