The De Stivetons were undoubtedly a very notable family in Yorkshire, and of high military fame, who resided at Steeton. Sir Robert de Stiveton died in 1307, and it is his effig-y in the garb of a Knight Templar that adorns the nave of the parish church at Kildwick. Sir Robert de Stiveton had three sons, all of whom fought with bow and battle-axe at the terrible carnage of Bannockbm-n in 1314.
