It is also possible that Statfold was one of the unnamed estates belonging to the 5 canons of Lichfield that are mentioned in Domesday.

[4] The history of the ecclesiastical parish is traceable back to the 12th century, when "Stotfold" was named as one of the dozen or so prebends of the parochia of Lichfield Cathedral.

By the 14th century it had become a prebendary parish, one of the 5 core prebends of Lichfield, supporting the 3 city churches.

[5] The title of Prebendary of Stotfold continued after the Reformation, with the last, Samuel Smallbrook, dying in 1803,[6] after which the Statfold tithes were collected directly by the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield Cathedral.

This lasted until 1 April 1934, when Statfold civil parish was incorporated into Thorpe Constantine, and became part of Lichfield Rural District.

[8] These days no obvious signs of the village centre exist, but it has been suggested that it lay just north of the chapel, and that it was deserted as a result of enclosure in the early Tudor Period.

[11] The manor house of Statfold Hall is a brick building dating from 1571, and is Grade II listed.
