Local information

• Pyrford, the name's original meaning being the Ford by the Pear Tree, is a village with ancient roots and heaps of history.
• St Nicholas Church was built in 12th Century. With doors tall enough to allow a horse rider to enter without dismantling and high windows, to protect the congregation from attack, it has many stories to tell. Not least that Pyrford was visited many times by Elizabeth I and she gave a Silver chalice to the church.
