Wootton, Bedfordshire

  is a small village located to the south-west of Bedford, in the north of Bedfordshire. Wootton is had a long association with brickmaking. In the 18th century church bells were made here for several churches in Bedfordshire and adjoining counties. There has been a great deal of residential development over the last 30 years but some attractive old timber-framed houses still survive. The church is mainly 14th century but contains two fine monuments in the chancel to members of the Monoux family who died in 1685 and 1707. To the west of the church is Wootton House, an impressive late 17th century house with a contemporary, red brick stable block. 

Village Expansion

Wootton is currently undergoing many plans to expand the village, with the eventual hope of joining it with Cranfield and as far afield as Milton Keynes. A voluntary group of people living in the Wootton area who strongly oppose these plans have created a group known as the Wootton Against Village Expansion (aka WAVE). They are against any plans of the proposed mass development of new housing within the village. Housing plans include:
  • More than 1000 new houses on green fields situated next to the A421.
  • Possible plans to build another 1000 houses on green fields located on the road between the village and Kempston.
