Early in the 12th Century, Stanton was given by Henry I to his second wife, Queen Adeliza (or Adela). A large part of it she presented to a kinswomen, Millicent de Camville. From the latter it was inherited in 1191 by Isabel de Camville, and thus passed to her husband Richard de Harcourt, from whom it has come down through the Harcourt family to the present day and from which circumstance the Manor and the village itself became known as Stanton Harcourt. Queen Adeliza also gave land at Stanton to Reading Abbey, which remained patron of the parish church fill the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A close relationship with St Michaelís Church has been maintained by the Harcourts, and it contains the chapel under which members of the family have been buried since the 15th century.
