Landford, Devon???

From the 1851 census, I have a Sarah Bradford,born c 1838 in Landford, Devon.

Anybody know where this is? It's probably close to Sampford Perverel becase by 1861 that's here she was born!

Could it be Langford which is 9 miles south of Sampford Perverel at

50.818266, -3.384514

Alternatively there is a Landford in Dorset (or Wiltshire) at

50.968500, -1.635380
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

I think it may be Sandford.

This from the 1881 census. Note the "S" of Sampford Peverel.
