caption_attribution_description: English: Gatehouse circa 1807 (known today as "Ivy Lodge") of demolished Yeotown House in the parish of Goodleigh, North Devon. Yeotown is situated in the sequestered wooded valley of the small River Yeo, about 3 miles 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.
