The Pursgloves of Basford - [BAFD]
It is likely that the name Basford comes from the French "le bas ford" - Lower Ford. This is divided into Old Basford and New Basford, a largely Victorian conurbation, situated on the River Lean, a tributary of the River Trent. The Basford Parish became part of Nottingham in 1897 and is now essentially a commuter belt area for the city. The parish church is St Leodegarius. |
