Etymology
Walford Hall is Walfordis 1498 KnowleG. Cf. also Walford lane 1591LRMB . It is to be associated with the family of Robert de Waleford (1213 Cur). Possibly 'ford of the serfs or Britons' (v. wealh ), but the name may be of manorial origin, Robert having come from a Walford elsewhere, as there is no stream very near.
