It is a township in the parish of Bishopton, County Durham,[1] situated a few miles west of Stockton-on-Tees.

On one side of the street, a stream—Bishopton Beck—runs along the bottom of the gardens.
History
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. It is rumoured that the last witch in England was to be hanged in Little Stainton.[citation needed]
Until around 1960, Little Stainton consisted of a group of individual farms, to which was added a set of four council houses with agricultural dwelling restrictions. In the late 1980s, planning permission was granted for a series of private dwellings that have transformed Little Stainton into a rural agglomeration of dwellings, within which the farms now constitute a minority. Although much of the land around the dwellings is owned by the farms, many of the private dwellings have a substantial amount of land, ranging from 2 acres (8,100 m2) to about 5 acres (20,000 m2).
