Elstow Moot Hall
At one end of the village green in Elstow is the old Moot Hall, a picturesque 15th century building of brick and timber which now houses a museum of 17th century life with a focus on the life and career of John Bunyan. The Moot Hall was originally built by the nuns of Elstow Abbey as a storage building for stalls associated with the annual Elstow Fair. It also functioned as a court house for hearing disputes arising from the fair. For a time it was used as a chapel and a schoolroom before being restored by the the Bedfordshire County Council.
