BOLNHURST

Bolnhurst Notes

Bolnhurst's church stands alone in the fields, some distance from the village, as in a number of other churches in the County which are detached from the community that they serve; Chellington and Carlton are examples.

The Old Plough Inn was once in a house that takes the name "The Old Plough"; this was typical of the construction found in older houses in Bedfordshire being lath and plaster over timber and colour washed.  The inn's name was later taken by a brick-built place, a little further up the road, with pebble dash and roof of Welsh slate.  This too has now gone and has become a private dwelling.
