There is a tumult (mound) next to the church that is thought to be Anglo Saxon.

Stapleton has an Anglican Church where regular services take place. The church is of historic interest as it has a Norman tower but originally built on two levels. It is thought the bottom level was used as a store room. The doors can still be seen at a lower level than the land. The church also boasts a tapestry thought to have been embroidered by Mary Queen of Scots while the church organ is among the top six hundred in the country.

Although Stapleton has never had a pub it does have a popular village hall where various clubs and social activities take place. The village hall was built approximately 125 years ago to keep the young men at that time occupied. The village hall has been fairly recently revamped and has an industrial kitchen. It is in constant use for various clubs and social activities. It can also be hired out for private use.
