Haunting History of~ The Muddiford Inn~Muddiford~Devon
The Muddiford Inn, a historic 16th century coaching inn now a family run pub & restaurant,previously known as the New Inn
Situated in the charming village of Muddiford in the parish of Marwood situated approximately three miles to the north west of Barnstaple, in the predominantly rural county of North Devon. Steeped in history with associations as far back as the Saxons, many of the farmsteads and hamlets that still exist today, have their origins in the early medieval period. Muddiford From c.1303, probably meaning ‘Moda’s worpig’ – farm enclosure Probably one of the original chains of New Inns established by Queen Elizabeth I. It is purported to have Ghostly inhabitants and various ‘odd’ happenings do occur without explanation. In 1934 there are photographs showing it as the New Inn, where it was run as a small hotel employing Chambermaids and a full title of Staff. During World War II the New Inn was used as an Army Catering Corp Base, the rooms being used for the Servicemen and women and the Restaurant for their dining needs.
Appliances strangely switching themselves on and self propelled cookware and coinage are claimed by staff who are certain they share space with at least four resident ghosts.
Customers have reported the sight and alarming feel of ghostly presences which include a faceless coachman in a long leather coat and a young girl dancing outside dressed in chiffon that remains dry despite heavy rainfall.
A ghostly young girl has also been seen holding a baby boy from whom cries were heard. The most recent sighting was of the faceless coachman sitting outside the pub, deep in conversation with another person.
