Hartford, a little local history
The village of Hartford can be traced back to the Doomsday Book of 1086, when the Manor was held by Gilbert de Venables, part of the Barony of Kinderton.
Over the centuries the land of Hartford was divided up, with eleven families owning different areas. However by the 18th century Lord Delamere owned most of the village.
In recent years, the population of Hartford has grown dramatically, from 2,272 residents in 1961 compared with the most recent census, taken in 2001, where figures reached 5,515 more than double that of 1961.
The Red Lion sits in a prominent corner position over looking Hartford Church.
