About Bedwell
Where to stay in Bedwell
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Stevenage carries the beds. Bedwell sits inside the town rather than apart from it, and a booking made there puts Stevenage Museum, the Parish Church of St Andrew and St George and the pair of houses at 138 and 140 High Street inside a walk. Ditchmore Lane runs close by.
For a quieter address, the Whomerley Wood moated site and Six Hills lie on the district's own ground, with the Church of the Holy Trinity and Stevenage Methodist Church between them.
About Bedwell
What are the main landmarks in Bedwell?
Stevenage Museum heads the list. Around it sit the Parish Church of St Andrew and St George, the Church of the Holy Trinity and Stevenage Methodist Church, three parish addresses of quite different make, and beyond them the ground turns older. Six Hills and the Whomerley Wood moated site are the earthwork entries.
Ditchmore Lane and the houses at 138 and 140 High Street complete what Bedwell holds on the register, and none of it asks for more than an afternoon.
What is the history of Bedwell?
Bedwell's story is barely written down. What stands on the ground carries it instead: Six Hills, the Whomerley Wood moated site, and the parish addresses of the Parish Church of St Andrew and St George and the Church of the Holy Trinity, each from a different layer of Stevenage's growth. Stevenage Methodist Church joins that line.
The houses at 138 and 140 High Street and the run of Ditchmore Lane mark the older street pattern, and Stevenage Museum keeps the account of how the town around them came together.
Where is Bedwell?
Stevenage surrounds the district, and Six Hills, Ditchmore Lane and the Whomerley Wood moated site all fall on or beside its streets.
