A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Styford from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"STYFORD, a township in Bywell-St. Andrew parish, Northumberland; 5½ miles E by S of Hexham. Acres: 973. Population: 90. Houses: 15."

Styford was originally a township in the ancient parish of Bywell St. Andrew. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Hexham Rural District. In 1955 it was absorbed into Bywell.
