Ford, Staffordshire, ST13 7RW

Date of visit: 1st July 2020

From http://www.fordoldhall.co.uk
Ford itself was originally a quaker village when the quakers were being persecuted, it was the ideal place to retreat from society & live their simple lifestyle in an uninterrupted way, they could simply be ‘forgotten about’. The old ford has been replaced by a stone humped back bridge over the river Hamps, so no need to attempt the water with the car anymore, however, there are plenty of fords around the area should you wish to have a go! There is a unique cobbled stone ford in the next village at Butterton.

There are 12 properties dotted across this secluded hamlet, with dairy & sheep farming being the main employment in the area, with many families passing down the farm through the generations. The rest of the properties are lived in by families who enjoy the quieter lifestyle, off the beaten track, yet still very close to all amenities & travel infrastructure, we have the very best of both worlds here.
