St Mary’s Hardmead

 
St Marys 

Date : October 2024
Location: Hardmead
Public/abandoned Public 


My 4-year-old and I traveled to the Dunstable area to visit a friend I hadn't seen in a long time. Our first stop of the day was a lovely church, about a 30-minute drive away. Upon arrival, we discovered that we needed a key to enter. Following the provided instructions, we were fortunate to find someone who could provide us with the key. Once inside, the church did not disappoint. It was incredibly beautiful and felt like a place frozen in time. 


It is said that this church is listed as grade 1 and is an Anglican church. It dates back to around the 13th century. After the church became redundant, there was an attempt to convert it into a house, but the plan fell through. The church has a 99-year lease that started in 1982.
