Elford is a small village and civil parish in the district of Lichfield, Staffordshire, England, set on the banks of the River Tame. Its compact, riverside setting includes a traditional village green and a historic parish church, and the landscape is still marked by the site and remnants of the former country estate at Elford Hall.
Historically the manor and estate shaped local life, and today the village retains a largely rural character with farms, riverside walks and an active community life; many residents now commute to nearby centres such as Lichfield and Tamworth for work. The combination of historic buildings, countryside and local clubs and events gives Elford a quiet but characterful feel typical of the Staffordshire countryside.
