Early in the 12th Century, Stanton was given by Henry I to his second
wife, Queen Adeliza (or Adela). A large part of it she presented to akinswomen, Millicent de Camville. From the latter it was inherited in1191 by Isabel de Camville, and thus passed to her husband Richard deHarcourt, from whom it has come down through the Harcourt family to thepresent day and from which circumstance the Manor and the village itselfbecame known as Stanton Harcourt. Queen Adeliza also gave land at Stantonto Reading Abbey, which remained patron of the parish church fill theDissolution of the Monasteries. A close relationship with St Michael’sChurch has been maintained by the Harcourts, and it contains the chapelunder which members of the family have been buried since the 15thcentury.
