Stifford is an area and former civil parish in the town of Grays in Thurrock, Essex, England. Historically a single village, the area was broken up by the construction of the A13 in the 1900s and is now divided by the road into three communities, the urban areas of South Stifford and Stifford Clays and the small village of North Stifford.[1][2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 2188.[3] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished to form Thurrock.[4]
