We are open again! We have a new exhibition of Snap Shots of Bedworth during World War II. Come along and see old photographs and newspapers of the time, and read extracts from the school log books. We also have slides of the uncovered bomb shelter off Newtown Road. We look forward to welcoming our visitors back again.
We are pleased to announce that we are running FREE tours of Bedworth Almshouses again this year.
Discover the story of Nicholas Chamberlaine, his life and his legacy to the people of Bedworth. Visit the magnificent Governors' Hall, the Pump House and the Almshouse grounds with local historians John and Lynda Burton.
Tours will take place on Saturday 14 June and Saturday 9 August. There will be 2 tours each day - one at 10.30am and one at 12.30pm.
Places can be booked at Bedworth Heritage Centre, or by contacting Lynda Burton on 07707 093335, or email
We now have a Facebook page for The Bedworth Society and Heritage Centre. Find out the latest news and photographs of old Bedworth.
Follow the link from the Facebook icon at the top of the page. We hope soon to have a link to a library of Flashback Fridays, so anyone without a Facebook account can see the items produced by John Burton.
The Bedworth Society has no paid staff - we are all volunteers.
If you would like to join our volunteers, please contact Lynda Burton on 0770 7093335 or email
