Pyrreford

A deed from the early sixteenth century refers to land in Pyrreford, Stafford; can anyone tell me where exactly Pyrreford was, or is?

The National Archives Catalogue Reference C 1/345/35 refers to "deeds relating to a messuage and land in Pyrreford.: Stafford."

hi
Have looked at old maps of Staff , could not see a Pyrreford on it.
looking at what a messuage means, ( law ) dwelling- house with out-buildings and land assigned to it's use. Looking at the document you mentioned which concerns a Mr Pyrre , he might have called the piece of land Pyrreford. Hence it could just be the name of a piece of property etc with a ford running through it. I am sure somebody else might know if this is not right
