Speedwell lies as a quiet murmur in the Bedfordshire landscape, a collection of homes gathered with an unassuming grace. It lies 0.7 km south-south-east of Woburn (from Woburn: bearing 154°T, OS grid SP 952 325). The air here carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant fields, a subtle perfume that speaks of the agricultural heartland it inhabits. The houses, many of them brick of a pleasingly warm hue, seem to settle into the land rather than impose upon it, their roofs catching the soft, diffused light that often graces this eastern corner of England. There is a certain stillness to Speedwell, an almost palpable quietude that allows the rustle of leaves or the distant bleating of sheep to become significant sounds. The landscape surrounding Speedwell is not dramatic, but possesses a gentle continuity, a rolling expanse that invites a contemplative pace.
