Meppershall
The town
of Meppershall is perched atop a long ridge 9 miles north of Luton.
The village is strung out along a high street nearly a mile in length.
Meppershall
is blessed with some fine historic buildings, such as the half-timbered
17th century Meppershall Manor and a contemporary thatched cottage
on Stondon Road.
The oldest
building in the village is probably the Castle,
thought to date to about 1100. The castle lives cheek-by-jowl with
the Church of Our Lady, which has a 12th century tower and transept.
The nave and aisles of the church were added in Victorian times. Of
note is the 12 sided font, from the 15th century.
St. Thomas
Chapel to the east, used to belong to Chicksand's Priory, though it
has been lately used as a barn for Chapel Farm. The Norman doorway
to the chapel is striking.
