William DE STAUNTON, I, Sir.
1235–1326
BIRTH 1235 • Staunton in the Vale, Nottinghamshire, England
DEATH 1326 • England

Many of the Stauntons are buried inside St Mary's Church next to the Hall ... this William Staunton is not one of them. Upon his death in 1326 he gave directions in his will to bury him in the churchyard. A breast-plate dug up on the restoration of the church, and now hanging in St. Lawrence's choir, probably belonged to this stout knight.

In his will, dated 9th November, 1312, this William gave his body to be buried in the churchyard at Staunton, with which he bequeathed his palfrey with its furniture.
