In the 1930s a few Quaker families lived in Bedford and began a Quaker Meeting for Worship by hiring out the Oddfellows Hall. By the 1950s this worship group had grown in size and strength and in 1955 was able, with help from the Monthly Meeting (now called Area Meeting) to purchase the house in Lansdowne Road. By the 1990s work was required to bring the building up to a higher standard of facilities.
In 1999 work was underway to rebuild the back of the house with a new Meeting Room, new cloakroom facilities, improved kitchen and more extensive accomodation for community groups as well as for Quaker activities. Today we remain a friendly community with wide-ranging interests and community involvement. Quotes below are taken from Advices and Queries.

Walking around Coopers Hill does not take too long, but it depends on how much up-and-over the hills you build into your walk. We stretched it out to 2. 3 Km. It seems just about the right length for walking the dog, judging by the number of quadrupeds we saw there. Be aware that this is not a major day out, though – it’s a short stroll in a pleasant place. In additional to the pleasant surroundings there is a very nice, well maintained war memorial on the site, dedicated to those who served and fell in the two world wars.

Do not be persuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford. Do you keep yourself informed about the effects your style of living is having on the global economy and environment? Quakers planted 600 trees in Marston Vale.
You might also be interested to know that the soil at Coopers Hill is freely draining, slightly sandy, and acid. Furthermore, the northwest corner sits above impermeable Ampthill clay (yes, Ampthill has a clay named after it), so the water table is very high and supports acidic mire and ponds. Just wanted to put that out there. Actually, as a slight aside, I found a great tool for determining local soil types developed by Cranfield University here: http://www. landis. org. uk/soilscapes/ Hence the especially useless info above.
