Little Stainton is a small, predominantly rural parish in the borough of Darlington, within County Durham, England. It consists mainly of farmland, scattered cottages and farmsteads set along narrow lanes, retaining a quiet, agricultural character while lying close enough to the town for many residents to commute for work and services.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots - the place-name Stainton reflects Old Norse/Old English origins meaning a stony farmstead - and the landscape still shows traditional field patterns and a handful of older buildings. Economically agriculture remains important, and socially the parish is small and close-knit, with local meetings and events tying the community to nearby Darlington and neighbouring villages.
