History

The name "Steeton" means 'Stub ton', 'Tree-stump farm/settlement'.[4] Steeton was recorded in the Domesday Book as Stiueton/Stiuetone/Stiuetune.[5] Steeton is a deserted medieval village that was thought to have been depopulated except for the Fairfax family by about 1485. The remains of the centre of the village were destroyed in the early 16th century by the construction of a pond.[6] Steeton was formerly a township in the parish of Bolton Percy,[7] in 1866 Steeton became a civil parish in its own right.[8]
