Re: 'Beau Regard Hotel' - Clapcot/Wallingford

Hello,  I came across your inquiry while searching for Beau Regard in relation to my research into Upper Thames Patrol. I am quite sure the big victorian house at the top, on the riverside of Shillingford Hill, before you get to the Mobile Home site heading towards Wallingford was the Beau Regard Hotel.  I grew up in Wallingford and my father used to talk about going their before WW2.  I think in WW2 it may have been a mess for officers. (Airfields at Benson and Berinsfield) I would think somewhere in the Wallingford museum there may be some information about it.  There is indeed a 'Beau Regard' from the situation of the hotel/house as I used to visit someone on the mobile home site and they looked right across to Oxford and Garsington church could be seen.   I hope that reassures you that this is the place.
