Notes on the Origin of “Milford”, and the Domesday Records by W.Ravenscroft. The origin of the name Milford is simply “a Mill by a Ford”. A mill existed at the time of Edward the Confessor; the ford itself would have been where the garden of present-day [1909] Rose Cottage is located. Milford in the Domesday Book of 1086 appears as Melleford. An appended note by E. L. Agar shows that Milford possessed a Church before the Norman Conquest. Traces of this Saxon Church may yet be discovered, but parts of the present Church cannot safely be dated earlier than 1150.
