|
The town of Ampthill rests atop the Greensand Ridge in attractive Bedfordshire countryside. The name is of Saxon origin, and rather unromantically translates as "ant hill". It was once the site of Ampthill Castle, where Katherine of Aragon stayed (read "was kept prisoner") from 1531-33. In that latter year her divorce from Henry VIII became final and she was moved to Kimbolton Castle.

All Saints in Cople has been called one of the most beautiful in churches in Bedfordshire. The first church here was built around 1087, and it was later granted to Chicksands Priory. The church was rebuilt in the 15th century, but it still houses a 14th century bell in the largely original tower.

There have been inhabitants in the area of Dunstable since prehistoric times, as the earthworks and burial mounds on the chalk hills above the town attest. Later, the Romans established a town they called Durocobrivis here at the junction of Watling Street and the ancient trackway known as the Icknield Way.
