Welcome to Holwellbury

Holwellbury is a small village located in the county of Bedfordshire, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Hitchin and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque views and peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions in Holwellbury is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and features a stunning stained glass window that depicts the life of Christ. The church is open to visitors and is a popular spot for weddings and other special events.

Another popular attraction in Holwellbury is the Holwellbury Manor, which is a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 17th century. The manor is now a private residence, but visitors can still admire the beautiful architecture and explore the surrounding gardens. The manor is also said to be haunted by the ghost of a former resident, adding to the village's charm and intrigue.
