The Tithe Map shows these tenements; the northerly (909) is Lower Statford ('House'), and the southerly (104) is Higher Statford; 'garden, house and yard'.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

By the time of the later 19th century, the names had gained an extra 's'; Higher and Lower Statsford, and Higher Statsford appears to have been extended. Lower Statsford seems to have been divided into at least three separate dwellings.

By the time of the early 20th century historic map, Lower Statsford has been reduced substantially in size, with only the northernmost end retained, while a new property; Holland Villa has been built just to the south-east. Higher Statsford appears unchanged.

Stratsford. Date of origin unknown. Shown on Tithe Map, when it was divided into three tenements. Higher Stratsford is at SX50757265. The two tenements known as Lower Stratsford were in the region of the present Holland Villa, SX50707280.

Ordnance Survey, 2019, MasterMap 2019 (Cartographic). SDV362729.

Modern mapping shows Higher Statsford (south) and Lower Statsford (north). 'Lower Statsford' however, is the site of the early 20th century 'Holland Villa', which appears to have adopted the name at some point. The remains of the original Lower Statsford survives near the corner of the road and has been converted for use as outbuildings.
