Radwell, Bedfordshire

Radwell is a hamlet in the Hundred of Willey in North Bedfordshire, England, on the River Great Ouse, about 7 miles (11 km) north west of Bedford.

Excavations of the gravel pits to the north of the settlement showed evidence of occupation during the Roman period, with a field and ditch system and the remains of two timber buildings, probably a farmstead.

[1] The hamlet was mentioned in Domesday as Radeuuelle, listed with a population of 18 households, under two landowners.

A chapel dedicated to St James was first recorded in 1204, but had fallen out of use by the 17th century.

A Methodist chapel in Moor End Road, built in 1807, has been converted to a residence.

The bridge was Grade II listed by English Heritage in August 1987.
