History of Fulford - Part 1
This history of Fulford in Staffordshire was first compiled by Roger Keight in the autumn of 2001. Initially it was based on the work of both Alexander Ward, who undertook some early research as part of a school history project in 1996, and Kath Tooth, who undertook further research as part of the Fulford millennium project. Roger continued and expanded those researches, with some help from Bill Weston, in order that he could better understand the area in which he had lived for the previous thirteen years. Most of the photographs have been provided by Roger Keight, Kath Tooth and Nola Ward, though a few have been downloaded from the ‘Staffordshire Past Track’ website. As permission to use some photographs has still to be sought, there are placeholders in the text. This book, which has been produced by Roger Keight, has been divided into the following chapters:-
A brief history of Fulford and its environment (with maps) A look at Fulford and the tithe of 1849 A look at Fulford at the time of the census of 1881 The history of Fulford Chapel and St.Nicholas Church The history of Fulford’s Parochial and National Schools
Fulford's Pub, Post Office & Village Hall
A look at the farms and farmers of the Fulford area Other occupations in and around Fulford in the 18th & 19th century Memories of some of Fulford’s older residents President Richard Nixon & Fulford’s Emigrant Families Bibliography
