There are two entries for Stonton [Wyville] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP7395/stonton-wyville/] [accessed 26 August 2015], one of which mentions a priest, but not a church in it, though there probably was one here. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) reports: "In 1791 Nichols described a small water stoup in the north wall of the nave, but this is now missing" [to be completed].
