==History== Originally there were two settlements, Stainton (where the present church is) and Wadingham, which were on either side of the Waddingham Beck which runs through the village. Both settlements are mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Both places have Anglo Saxon names: Stainton is derived from The Old English "Stan" (stone), and the Old English "Tun" (farm), meaning stony farm. Waddingham is derived from two common OE suffixes: "ing" (person), or "ingas" (people), and "ham" (village or settlement), meaning the village of, or belonging to, the Wada family or tribe. thumb|left|180px|Church of St Mary and St Peter, Waddingham The Church of St Mary and St Peter, Waddingham (originally St Peter) church chancel arch is 13th-century, the tower being a 15th-century addition.
