Fulford in 1817

Description from A Topographical History of Staffordshire by William Pitt (1817)

FULFORD.

Fulford, is a village and parish five miles to the north-east of Stone. The river Blithe passes to the north of this parish; the soil is loamy on a marl bottom; and there is a mansion near the Church called Fulford Hall. 

The village is ancient, and irregularly built, being situated on uneven ground. 

The Church is dedicated to St. Nicholas, and is a chapel of ease to Stone. It is in a low situation, with a small cupola and one bell. There is also a chapel for Calvinists in this village. 

Fulford is noticed by Plot as containing the same kind of white building stone as that at Chapel Chorlton.
