George Staveley was born in East Witton in 1774 to William Staveley and Mary Firby.

 Aysgarth
In the reign of King John the manor of Aysgarth belonged to the family of De Burgh, whose seat was at Brough, in the parish of Catterick; and about a century later (A.D. 1313), it came into the possession of the Fitz-Randolphs, lords of Spennithorne.
The village of Aysgarth is a quaint straggling little place, overlooked by a bleak hill, on the south bank of the Yore or Ure, five miles E. by S. of Askrigg, and eight miles W. by S. of Leyburn."
In the reign of Edward VI the same sum was assigned to Christopher Rogerson, then vicar, on the ground that "the Vicar of Aysgarth and his predecessors time out of mind," had been accustomed to receive it.
