St. Peter de Merton, Bedford
St.
Peter's derives its "surname" Merton from Merton Priory,
in Surrey, which owned the church. The church was founded in 1117
by Gilbert the Norman, one time sheriff of Surrey, Cambridge and
Huntingdon, and godson of Henry I.
The
original building was late Saxon. Remains of that early building
are still to be found; parts of the chancel were contained in the
original nave of the Saxon church. Quoins in the chancel and beside
the west arch are also pre-Conquest.
The
Norman south door is an impressive import from another Bedford
church, St. Peter de Dunstable, which was torn down in 1545.
