Besford

Besford is a village and civil parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 147. The village is near Pershore, off the road from Upton-upon-Severn. A historic house, Besford Court (a grade II* listed building), is located in the village. Besford Court was once used as a school known as Besford Court Hospital [1].

The name Besford derives from the Old English Bettisford meaning 'Betti's ford'.

The village is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a member of the Seabright family, who appears in a nightshirt.
