Etymology
The name Mayford is supposed to be derived from the ford that used to cross the river Hoe. The 'May' part is believed to be short for mayweed, which grows around the River Hoe. Hawthorn trees were only called "May" from the 14th century onwards so this is unlikely to be the origin of the name.
Wildlife
Mayford has a number of hawthorn trees growing in the area. It also has a lot of mayweed growing as well. A lot of the mayweed and hawthorn trees grow on the edge of the River Hoe.
