This Adventure Lab takes you on a tour of five listed buildings in the Bedfont Green Conservation Area. East Bedfont features in the Domesday Book as "Bedefunde" with evidence found of settlements from the Bronze Age, Iron Age & Roman periods. Bedfont formed an ancient parish within the Spelthorne Hundred of Middlesex. The Church of St Mary the Virgin is is the oldest surviving church in the borough, with sections dating from 1150. Staines Road follows the route of a Roman Road, which was partly uncovered in the 18th century by General Roy on nearby Hounslow Heath, during the initial Ordnance Survey. During the 17th &18th centuries Bedfont grew wealthy by providing stabling & refreshments to travellers on the Coaching Road via many Inns. As modern forms of transport bypassed Bedfont Green, its fortunes waned and so a conservation area was designated in 1974 to preserve the rural character and list buildings.
