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 oa 

 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.
