Background
History
The name "Tilford" appears to identify the Old English name Tila, as Tila's ford" or "Tilla's ford". Several substantial farm houses date from the 16th century. Tilford House was built in 1727 and its chapel in 1776. In the mid eighteenth century the village was owned by Elizabeth Abney, daughter of Lady Mary Abney; and her detailed local survey map has survived to this day in the British Library. During the second world war, Cdr D J L 'Tim' Foster (RN Rtd), who later lived in the village, brought back from northern Russia a reindeer (named Minsk) in his submarine HMS Tigris.
