Staffield is a hamlet in the Eden district of Cumbria. Historically, Staffield was a township in the ancient parish of Kirkoswald in the old County of Cumberland. In 1866 Staffield became a civil parish in its own right, until 1st April 1934, when it was merged with the Civil Parish of Kirkoswald. The Nunnery here dates back from the 13th century.
