Coleford, Devon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coleford, Devon
Coleford is a small hamlet in Mid-Devon, England. It includes a chapel and a pub, and also has a park and a full set of public conveniences (male, female and disabled). Coleford junction (arguably Penstone Junction) is the place where the North Devon Railway from Crediton to Barnstaple splits to the later Okehampton line. ==History== Charles I came through Coleford on 27 July 1644 on his way to Bow, where he spent a night during the English Civil War. At that time Coleford village was on the main highway from Cornwall to Devon. There is a tradition that the King reviewed his horse troop, from the "Porched House", a building which dates from this time. The novel by Henry Kingsley, "Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn" is set partly in the village.
