Description
Bellingdon is recorded in legal documents in 1212 and 1227 (B2).
The large hamlet of Bellingdon extends along a hill 1 mile north of Ashridge. Bellingdon consists of half a dozen scattered farms with a nursery house, brickworks and a church mission room. It extends past Bank and Peppetts Greens, with farms of the same names, to the Cross Cottages, beyond which are more brickworks and Bellingdon End Farm. Bellingdon Farm, Bellingdon End Farm, Bloomfield Farm, Huge Farm and Hazeldean Farm are all 17th-century houses, but much restored and altered. Vale Farm may belong to the late 16th or early 17th century, but has been much added to and altered. On the outskirts, on Hivings Hill, is Mount Nugent Farm, a two-storied house of the early 17th century with later additions (B3).
