in reply to a message by Stancel Spencer

Not denying what has been said I would add a possible explanation for him:
Stein = Stone
Cel = Chamber
Is that what you've got Stancel Spencer?

I think Mike C knows enough about Old English to get that bit :-)

stan is clearly stone and cel could well be from the Old English cell, coming from the Latin cella meaning "chamber". However, I can't prove that etymology, and there could be other explanations for the -cel ending.

Indeed... I agree.
