Elford
Elford is a village and civil parish in Lichfield District, Staffordshire, England.〔OS Explorer Map 232 : Nuneaton & Tamworth: (1:25 000) :ISBN 0 319 46404 0〕 It is situated on the east bank of the River Tame, about east of the City of Lichfield and 5 miles north of Tamworth. ==Origins== The village is said to have derived its name from the great number of eels with which the river here formerly abounded. Before the Norman conquest this manor belonged to Ælfgār, Earl of Mercia. In the reign of Henry III, it was held by William de Arderne, whose descendants continued to enjoy it till the marriage of Maud, sole heiress of Sir John Arderne, with Thomas, second son of Sir John Stanley, of Latham, carried it into that family.
