  Early in the 12th Century, Stanton was given by Henry I to his secon d w i f e , Q u een Adeliza (or Adela). A large part of it she presented to a ki n s w o m en, Millicent de Camville. From the latter it was inherited in 119 1 b y I s a b el de Camville, and thus passed to her husband Richard de Harc ou rt , f r o m whom it has come down through the Harcourt family to the pre s e nt d a y a nd from which circumstance the Manor and the village itself b e c a m e k nown as Stanton Harcourt. Queen Adeliza also gave land at Stanto n t o R e a d ing Abbey, which remained patron of the parish church fill the D i s s o l ution of the Monasteries.
