Where to stay in Hanford
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Hanford's three named buildings, an Ice House, the Church of St Matthias and the Church of St Mary and All Saints, Trentham, are things to look at rather than places to sleep, and the district enters the record with no lodging of any kind. Beyond those three, it is all houses. Stoke-on-Trent is the practical base for a visit to this corner of Staffordshire, leaving Hanford as somewhere to spend the day rather than somewhere to unpack.

About Hanford
What are the main landmarks in Hanford?
One entry is not a church. An Ice House stands on Hanford's list beside the Church of St Matthias and the Church of St Mary and All Saints, Trentham, and past those three the sources set down nothing at all for the district. The list runs out fast.
Stoke-on-Trent carries the museums and galleries a Staffordshire visitor travels for, while Hanford keeps its three names and its streets.
What is the history of Hanford?
No year is attached to the name. Hanford comes through in the sources as a district of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, its record made up of buildings rather than events, with an Ice House among them and no charter, battle or founding date recorded. Buildings stand in for dates.
The Church of St Mary and All Saints, Trentham and the Church of St Matthias give the district whatever depth its entry has, and the rest of the story stays with the city.
Where is Hanford?
Hanford lies within the built-up spread of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, on ground whose landmark list reaches across to Trentham.
