Background
History
Stanford means "stone ford". The Domesday Book records eight land holdings in Stanford in 1086 and lists thirteen villagers, three smallholders and four slaves. In 1870–72 Stanford had a population of 385. A water mill at the end of Mill Road was fed by a mill race from the Ivel Navigation but by 1916 it was no longer in operation. Stanford at one time had three public houses. Only the Green Man remains.
