The parish church, which is in the village, is dedicated to All Saints, though before the Reformation it was dedicated to St George.[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.[4] Its tower was rebuilt with a small spire in 1910.[1] Greenwarren House in the village is the former home of Beaford Arts, the country's longest established rural arts centre. It is now a private family house.[5] Beaford has a cricket team which competes in division 2 of the North Devon League.[6] Historic estatesWithin the parish, the estates of Upcott, Warham and Woodleigh (otherwise known as Woolleigh or Wooleigh) were once important.[4] Woolleigh was the seat of the Mallet family[8] until the death of Robert Mallet. His widow was Elizabeth Rolle[9] (a daughter of the wealthy George Rolle (died 1552) of Stevenstone near Great Torrington) who remarried to Sir John Acland (died 1620) of Columb John. During Elizabeth's lifetime the couple resided at Woolleigh.[10] Sir John Acland's nephew Sir Arthur Acland (died 1610) married Eleanor Mallet, the daughter and heir of Robert Mallet, and thus Wooleigh passed into the Acland family,[8] later of Killerton. The son and heir of Sir Hugh Acland, 5th Baronet (died 1713) was John Acland (died 1703) who lived at Wooleigh whilst his father lived at Killerton.[11] The present farmhouse incorporates part of the mediaeval manor house, a garderobe with its original door[12] and retains remains of a 15th-century family chapel.[4]References1. ^1 {{Cite book|last = Harris|first = Helen|title = A Handbook of Devon Parishes|publisher = Halsgrove|location = Tiverton|year = 2004|page = 15|isbn = 1-84114-314-6}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.devon.gov.uk/devon_districts_2002_.pdf|title=Map of Devon Parishes|publisher=Devon County Council|accessdate=20 June 2013}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Orme|first=Nicholas|authorlink=Nicholas Orme|title=English Church Dedications|publisher=University of Exeter Press|year=1996|page=131|isbn=0-85989-516-5}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book | last = Hoskins| first = W.
