Bedfordshire Completed Look ups / Re: The Moravian church in Pertenhall

Hi! We went back about six years ago, as we were passing whilst out on a drive. We drove up the drive and the owners we very pleased to hear that our Grandfather was the previous owner. They were very kind and let us look all around the house and the graveyard. A great trip down Memory Lane for us. My mother seems to thing that Grandpa did, in fact, take down part of the church towards the end of his time there...but we can't remember what happened to the school room that was on the side. When we revisited, there was a large garage built where the chapel had been...all very tastefully done...but a garage none-the-less!

Just picked up this thread. My grandfather, Harry Pyne, Bought The Manse and the Chapel (both derelict) in 1962. Being a retired architect, he renovated the Manse and tended the grave Yard. He retained the Chapel. As a child I enjoyed many and hour playing the organ in there, which worked by bellows! He moved back to Bedford in 1977, when he gave up driving. He sold to a couple to continuned the renovations and tuned the chapel into a garage to house Vintage Cars, I believe.
