Barford is a village and civil parish in
Beds,
England, a few miles north-east of Bedford. It lies on the River Great Ouse.
The village is known for its All Saints Church, with a
15th-
century
tower, and its similarly ancient bridge[citation

for
canoeing,
angling and picnics. (Last updated: 30/06/2020 19:35:44)

Mother Ref:
40008. Mar: 5 Dec 1859 in Thurleigh, Bedfordshire to Reynolds, William
Alexander 40000. Died: during 1911 in Bedford,
Bedfordshire
aged 76. Thurleigh is a village and civil parish in north Beds. Excavations
have shown evidence the locality was occupied in
the
Iron-Age, Roman and Saxon periods.
In Domesday
of 1086 the Middle English orthography as to both modern 'th' digraph sounds was often in different forms particularly as to
this county
— the place is LaLega. By 1372 it is Thyrleye. In 1813, Thurleigh, or Thurley,
is recorded as being in the Hundred of Willey and
the Deanery
of Eaton. The scribes were particularly ecclesiastical for the county as Lega
is a very Latin-esque form of leigh.
There was a
church here in Saxon times. The current church has some parts still dating from
around 1150, and at about that same time a
castle was
built here. (Last updated: 30/06/2020 18:14:40)

Anthony,
Ann, Mother Ref: 40301. Mar: 10 Oct 1789 in Henlow, Bedfordshire to Reynolds,
William 40031. Church of St Peter is a Grade I
listed
church in Arlesey, Beds, England. It became a listed building on 31 October
1966. Internal evidence dates the church to originally be
from the
12th century, as only a nave. Aisles were later added in the 13th and 14th
centuries.
In the
1600s, the original tower collapsed and was replaced by a small wooden belfry
for many years. A nearby building that used to serv as
a vestry,
chapel and school was demolished in 1855 and replaced
by the current vestry. The current tower was built in 1877. (Last updated:
