West Riding of Yorkshire
The West Riding of Yorkshire has ancient ties to the Staveley name. Adam de Staveley, the grandson of Swain de Staveley owned numerous estates all across this region as Lord of the Manors of Sedbergh, Dent & Garsdale to name a few. However, there is not a clear direct connection between Adam and later Staveley occupants of this region, as Adam's direct line was terminated through a lack of male succession.
The primary focus of the West Riding Staveley groups is divided between Pontefract, and the more extensive Sedbergh line. The Sedbergh lineage of Staveleys had an extensive occupation of Dent, and part of the line was responsible for establishing Staveleys in Hawes, Askrigg, and another occupation of Aysgarth at the end of the 1800's. Subsequently the Hawes Staveleys moved on to both Durham and Lancashire.
