Bedford's House

I haven't yet found the exact location of Bedford's House but it was in the centre of Mount Tabor. The centerary booklet for the Chapel, at page 5, says: Their work was so successful that in a few months demand arose for better accommodation. A room was secured at “Bedford’s House” in the centre of the village, the residence of Mr Cawkwell. After suitable enlargement and preparation it was used as a preaching room for about three years. A Methodist society class was formed with a membership of eight or nine, under the leadership of James Rothera. The number of members and attendee’s steadily increased with the result that still a larger meeting place became necessary.
