There is an entry for Stanninghall [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG2517/stanninghall/] [accessed 22 April 2014], but it mentions neither church nor cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is a rectory [...] The church was dilapidated in the reign of Queen Elizabeth [i.e., 1558-1603]; it was standing in 1505." The first recorded rector is given in Blomefield (ibid.) as "In 1300, Peter le Courzun, instituted, presented by the prior and convent of Beeston in Norfolk", but his first mention of the church is: "In the 52d of King Henry III. Lucia, lady abbess, granted by fine, to Roger the prior of Beeston in Norfolk, the advowson of this church", which means the church here existed as early as 1268. Pevsner & Wilson (1997) inform that this church was "in ruins already in 1602" [NB: we have no information on its font]
