Bedfont is a district within the London Borough of Hounslow in West London. It’s 13 miles west-southwest of Charing Cross and two miles from Heathrow Airport. It consists of the area which is informally called North Feltham and also the neighbourhood of Hatton. Bedfont is referred to within the Domesday Book as ‘Bedefunde’, which is believed to originate from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Bedfunta’, which means ‘bed’s spring’. It states that the manors of Bedfont, Hatton and Stanmore were all held by William Fitz Other. Just before Heathrow’s Terminal 5 was built, just a couple of miles north of Bedfont, archaeologists found Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman artefacts, suggesting that people were residing in and around Bedfont in these periods. The population of Bedfont stood at 12,701 at the 2011 census. The amount of inhabitants began to increase when Heathrow Airport was opened in 1946. This caused growing demand for nearby housing, especially as the village of Heathrow was lost as well as part of the Hamlet of Hatton. Bedfont has two surviving manor houses: Pates Manor, once owned by the Page family, and Fawns Manor. Pates Manor is behind the Church of St Mary the Virgin and dates from the late fifteenth century. Fawns Manor is around the south side of the Green and dates from the sixteenth century, now belonging to the British Airways Housing Association.
