The name Beorhtgifu occurs once in Devon, associated with a small estate at West Heanton, in the hills above the upper Torridge valley in the west of the county. The holding included land for two ploughs and was assessed at just 1 virgate and worth 5s. in 1086. There are no connections with any other Beorhtgifu elsewhere in England.
