Day 5: Rest Day in Bedford

If yesterday gave you the opportunity to visit Bunyan's birthplace, Moot Hall and Elstow Abbey, today provides chance to explore Bunyan further in central Bedford. A group visit is planned for prayers at the Bunyan Meeting Free Church and visit to John Bunyan Museum. In 1672 Bunyan bought a barn on the present site of the church, which was later converted to a place of meeting. In 1707 the barn was replaced with a meeting house. The present church was built in 1850. The bronze doors' ten panels depict scenes from The Pilgrim's Progress and the church has some fine stained glass depicting scenes; the most recognised being of John Bunyan in gaol; a postcard of which was the only correspondence to reach Terry Waite, captured and imprisoned in the Middle East for several years. The John Bunyan Museum features artefacts from Bunyan's life and more scenes from The Pilgrim's Progress. Do join us to find out more about the life and work of this amazing man. Other sites of interest are listed below: (no time for the laundry!)
