English: St Peter's Church, Stonesby From a very early time, Stonesby formed an ancient parish within the Framland hundred in north-east Leicestershire, roughly corresponding to today's borough of Melton. It was recorded in the Domesday Book as one of Leicestershire's four wapentakes. An ancient parish was a village or group of villages or hamlets and the adjacent lands. Originally they held ecclesiastical functions, but from the sixteenth century onwards they also acquired civil roles. The name is still in use for a deanery of the Diocese of Leicester in the Church of England.
