Description

Ford is first recorded in legal documents in about 1200, and again in 1262 (B1).
The hamlet of Ford, as its name implies, lies to the south of Dinton at the point where the road from Dinton village crosses the Ford Brook. There is a Baptist chapel at Ford in this parish, built in 1716 (B2).
'Ford' is marked on OS maps from about 1813 onwards (B3).
