In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Howbury like this:
HOWBURY HALL, the seat of the Polhill-Turners, in Renhold parish, Beds; on the river Ouse, 3 miles NE of Bedford. It is a beautiful mansion, in a park of about 100 acres; and an old amphitheatre is near it.
Howbury is now part of BEDFORD Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how BEDFORD has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Howbury itself, go to Statistics.
