===Toponymy=== The first surviving record of the place name is from around 1000 AD as ''Stybbanhyð'', "Stybba's hyð"; hyð developed into [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hithe#English hithe] (meaning landing-place) in modern English, so "Stybba's landing-place". The parish of [[Stebbing]] in [[Essex]] also appears to have taken its name from an individual called Stybba.<ref>The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Place-names</ref> The hithe itself is thought to have been at [[Ratcliff]], just under {{convert|1/2|mi|m|abbr=off|spell=in}} south of [[St Dunstan's, Stepney|St Dunstan's Church]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol11/pp13-19|title=Stepney: Settlement and Building to c.1700 | British History Online|website=british-history.ac.uk|access-date=18 September 2022}}</ref>
