The earliest record of the village itself dates back to at least 1067, where the village of 'Stuntenei', is identified an eel fishing port in the Domesday Book,[REF] and medieval remains, including a large stone coffin, have been unearthed near Stuntney, showing that an early civilisation existed near here.
1868 saw a school built in Stuntney as the population rose to around 220 (which is similar to the current population); this school was expanded in 1958 and closed in 1983.
