Statfold

Statfold was an ancient village in the extreme SE of Staffordshire, England. The village is three miles NE of Tamworth.

Statfold chapel stands in the grounds of Statfold Hall, to the north of the hall itself, and is not marked on the OS Landranger map. The present hall is a brick building dating from 1571 (although it has been altered and added to in the intervening centuries). The hall, the chapel, Statfold Farm and a few scattered houses are all that remain of Statfold, although the topography of a field immediately to the north of the chapel suggests that the village was here. The chapel serves as a mortuary chapel for the Wolferstan family. It was restored and refitted for use as a parish church in 1906, although the parish has never been populous enough to support its own minister. It is now attached to the benefice of Clifton Campville.
