Stevington is a village in the in the northern part of Bedfordshire, and forms the civil parish of Stevington. It is on the River Ouse four to five miles North West of Bedford. The village has a fine Mediaeval Church as well as a number of listed buildings spanning the centuries.The first church on this site was probably a wooden building constructed during the Anglo Saxon period between 886 and 1016; this was later replaced by a stone building.The earliest surviving part of the present day church of the lowest third of the tower which probably dates from the early 10th century.
The church has an associated holy well. The Holy Well is to the north of the Church and has never been known to freeze or to fail in times of drought. In the Middle Ages various miraculous powers were ascribed to the waters, particularly in respect to curing ailments of the eyes. It has been suggested by some researchers that the waters may have been the site of earlier veneration, possibly dating back to the Iron Age. The Village appears in the Domesday Book and has been chronicled in a series of publications by the Stevington Trust.
One of England's finest examples of a 'post mill' windmill is another prominent feature of the village that can be seen clearly on entering the village from the east. The windmill is open to the public and may be accessed via a public footpath leading from Mill Farm. Keys to the windmill can be obtained from either. The Royal George, or The Red Lion. While you are there why not sample a decent pint and have a chat to the land lord, they have a good knowledge of the village history.
The Village Cross another village icon was listed by the former Department of Environment in July 1964 as Grade II monument of special interest and particularly important. The department dated it to the 14th century. Perhaps the first reference to the cross is in 1279 in a Hundred Roll, which was translated and published by Bedfordshire Historical Records Society of 1990. It is not known where the medieval cross stood, but its present location, at the junction of four well established roads seems quite reasonable. A Stevington Manorial Court roll of 1765 noted a property standing on the corner of Silver Street next the cross.
In the Middle Ages the cross would have been a place where open air preachers spoke to the faithful. There is a legend that John Bunyan preached at Stevington cross; this has sprung from his words in Pilgrim's Progress," He ran till he came to a Place somewhat ascending and upon that place stood a Cross, and a little below in the bottom, a Sepulchre.
