Etymology
'Stone farmstead', that is either 'stone-built farmstead' or 'farmstead on stony ground', v. stān , tūn . The current affix is from the dedication of the church here, v. St Gabriel's Church (in ruins) infra . The 13th-cent. form Stanton Oydrock , confirmed as belonging here by Drew, is almost certainly a misreading for Stanton Cydiock , a reference to Chideock which borders Stanton on the E (both places having been anciently within Whitchurch C. par.). The 14th-cent. affix Pyk ' is manorial, cf. Thomas Pike , lord of the manor in 1464 Hutch3 2265. The tithing of Stanton is Gabriells Tithing 1664 HTax, cf. also Gabrielleslane in Chideock par. supra .
