More about this scene
Heading south-east through winding country lanes, our short tour reaches Ampthill. The Market Place is dominated by the Moot Hall, rebuilt by the Bedford Estate in 1852 in Jacobethan style with the re-used clock cupola from the 18th-century predecessor bursting from the roof in a bizarre out-of-scale way. To the right is the water pump obelisk erected in 1756 by the Earl of Upper Ossory (an Irish title), who also demolished buildings that had encroached into the market place.
