The late medieval town house of the Grenville family is long gone and little is known about it.
A possible performance venue. Bideford was among the holdings of the Grenville family, which patronized entertainers who appeared elsewhere in Devon in the 15th and 16th c.
Unknown location, probably demolished.
12th c. Grenville family acquired the manor of Bideford.
By late 15th c. Grenville family had a town house on the quay. Old Ford House, 'a much altered medieval stone hall-house' (Cherry and Pevsner, Devon 179) near the River Torridge, has been speculatively identified with the Grenvilles but without conclusive evidence.
