Beaford

Beaford is a village and civil parish in the Torridge district of Devon, England.

[3] It has a 15th-century doorway, arches and windows, as well as a Norman font, but according to W. G. Hoskins (writing in 1954) it is otherwise dull, having been heavily restored.

[5] Beaford House was host to some of the Great Train Robbers, who are understood to have buried more than £200,000 of the stolen money in nearby woods.

[6] Beaford has a cricket team which competes in division 2 of the North Devon League.

[12] The present farmhouse incorporates part of the mediaeval manor house, a garderobe with its original door[13] and retains remains of a 15th-century family chapel.
