Modern housing first mapped in 1983. Built on the site of Staincross Hall. The date of construction of this building is unknown but the placename Staincross dates first dates to 1589. The name refers to the stone cross which would have marked the site of the wapentake meeting place (Smith 1961,317). Staincross was not an early historic township like Darton and Mapplewell but was an area were settlement developed on the edge of the commons. There is fragmentary legibility of the outline of the grounds around Staincross Hall in the layout of the modern housing.
