Greenfield, Bedfordshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greenfield is a small village about 2km (1.25 miles) from the mid-Bedfordshire town of Flitwick.

It lies across Flitwick Moor from the larger town and is on the opposite side of the River Flit. It forms part of the parish of Flitton and Greenfield. Due to closures, there is now only one public house in Greenfield called The Compasses. Having been closed for several years the White Hart pub in Flitton reopened in January 2007 as a Gastro-pub. Two former pubs and the old village school are now private houses, a new village school having been built during the 1960's. Greenfield was expanded in the 19th century as a Methodist settlement alongside the Church of England settlement at Flitton. Flitton and Greenfield are essentially contiguous and share a village hall and recreation ground.
