History
Until the 19th century, Halford was a detached part of the parish of Bromfield. The detached part ran up Long Lane, on the other side of the River Onny. Being part of Bromfield brought it into the hundred of Culvestan and from c. 1100 that of Munslow (Lower Division). Bromfield Priory held land at Halford, explaining the connection.
Halford was formerly a chapelry in Bromfield parish, from 1866 Halford was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished to form Craven Arms, parts also went to Sibdon Carwood and Wistanstow.
Halford and Stokesay continued as parish wards, however a review of the governance of Craven Arms in 2012 concluded that these two wards would be abolished from May 2013.
