| s_stavert Quote | Reply | | Stavert family posted on: 2/19/2007 9:02:20 PM I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the village got its name? My grandad tried to trace back the Stavert family tree but it only goes back 200 years in Kendal then stops. Have there been any Stavert families living in Staverton? |

Stavert family
replied on: 2/28/2007 9:52:05 PM All I know is already written in the history section "The name Staverton , or Stouretona, means "the village by the stony ford." The ford, an ancient crossing many centuries older than the bridge, was situated by Town Mills, and provided a route from the village to Dartington" Sorry I cant link it to the family name. |
