Notes:
The
Staining Windmill was built by a retired Ship’s captain in 1715 and produced
grain until 1923 with its tower now being a Grade 2 Listed Building. In 1980 it
was converted into a house but is still complete with working sails .
In
1810 a farmhouse in Staining obtained a drinks licence and soon became the
Plough Inn which is positioned in the central cross roads of Staining and is an
integral part of village life. The Plough Inn is here represented by an actual
plough much similar to the sculpture that now sits in the centre of the village.
In 1865 a chapel and school were erected in Staining and later, circa 1895,
became St Luke’s Church. This Church is an important part of village life and
the tower of the Church has five crenulations which are symbolised by the five
centre rectangles across the flag with the Cross of St Luke (an alternative name
for the Celtic style of cross) displayed prominently.
The main colour of
the flag is the blue of both the Staining School and also the Staining Juniors
Football Teams which figure prominently in our local Leagues.
