History of Camelford
Camelford has sometimes been linked to Gafulford the site of a battle against the West Saxons which is more likely to have been at Galford in Devon.) Nearby Slaughterbridge has been supposed to be the site of a battle; an error arising because the derivation of “slaughter” in this case from an Anglo-Saxon word for “marsh” was not understood.
