N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

The only Beadon/Beason I could find was Beadon Farm at SX815815 north of Bovey Tracey; but this is outside Salisbury's usual area, which is centred on Herts - Beadon End has more of a Hertfordshire sound.

Or, as another possibility ..... Beeson
"Beeson’s End is pleasantly situated near the S. extremity of Harpenden Common, and about 1¾ mile nearly due E. from Redbourn Station, M.R."

That is so much in the centre of Salisbury's area that I have edited accordingly - thankyou
