Nicholas Radford
Nicholas Radford (died 23 October 1455) of Upcott in the parish of Cheriton Fitzpaine,〔Hoskins, W.G., A New Survey of England: Devon, London, 1959 (first published 1954), p.364; Pevsner, Nikolaus & Cherry, Bridget, The Buildings of England: Devon, London, 2004, p.257〕 and of Poughill, Devon, was a prominent lawyer in the Westcountry who served as Member of Parliament for Lyme Regis, Dorset (May 1421) and Devon (1435). During the anarchic times of the Wars of the Roses he was caught up in the dynastic Westcountry rivalry between Thomas de Courtenay, 5th Earl of Devon, of Tiverton Castle, for whom during his minority he had acted as steward, and William Bonville, 1st Baron Bonville, of Shute. His murder in 1455 by the Earl's faction "ranks among the most notorious crimes of the century",〔Woodger〕 and was the precursor of the Battle of Clyst Heath (1455) fought shortly thereafter near Exeter by the private armies of the two magnates. He served as a Justice of the Peace for Devon (1424-1455), as Escheator for Devon and Cornwall (1435-6), Recorder of Exeter (1442-1455) and as Tax Collector for Devon in 1450 and as Apprentice-at-law for the Duchy of Lancaster (1439-1455).〔Woodger〕
==Origins==
He was the son of Robert Radford of Oakford, Devon.〔Woodger〕 According to Risdon (d.1640), he was a descendant of the ''de Radford'' family of the estate of Radford, in the parish of Winkleigh, Devon, who had changed their name from ''de Bickly'', after Robert de Bickly, son of Ralph Borne, had during the reign of King Richard I (1199-1299) been granted the estate of Radford by Oliver de Tracy, feudal baron of Barnstaple.〔Risdon, Tristram (d.1640), Survey of Devon, 1811 edition, London, 1811, with 1810 Additions, p.263〕 According to Pole the arms of Radford of Radford were: ''Sable, three lampagoes (man tigers with lion's bodies and man's faces) passant in pale coward argent''.〔Pole, p.499〕
