By the above it will be seen that the English Medford, now called Meaford (pronounced Mefford), is not a municipality, but is an outlying village or hamlet adjoining the town (or city) of Stone, being counted in its census return and served by its post office.

We have replied with thanks to Clerk Joy, sending some illustrated literature relating to our Medford, and trust that thus reaching our hands across the sea, we may get in closer touch with old Medford, we mean the older Medford, i.e., present Meaford, where three centuries ago Governor Cradock had his country home.
