context_page_description: Goodleigh is a village, civil parish and former manor in North Devon, England. The village lies about 2 ¹⁄₂ miles north-east of the historic centre of Barnstaple. Apart from one adjunct at the south, it is generally a linear settlement.
  The parish church of St Gregory is a grade II* listed building with surviving ancient parts but was largely rebuilt in 1881.
context_section_description: Yeotown is situated in the sequestered wooded valley of the small River Yeo, about 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of the village of Goodleigh. The mansion house formerly owned by the Beavis family was remodelled in about 1807 in the neo-gothic style by Robert Newton Incledon (1761-1846), husband of Elizabeth Beavis and eldest son of Benjamin Incledon (1730-1796) of Pilton House, Pilton, near Barnstaple, an  antiquarian and genealogist and Recorder of the Borough of Barnstaple (1758–1796). It was demolished during his lifetime and today only one of the large gatehouse survives, since converted into a farmhouse known as Ivy Lodge.
