Birthplace and relics of John Bunyan, 1874. 'Village of Elstow; Elstow Church; Bunyan's Cottage; Cottage on the Green; Bunyan's Chair; Interior of Elstow Church; Bunyan Relics...The village of Elstow, a mile from Bedford town, was the birthplace, in 1628, of John Bunyan...Among the "relics" shown at the Bedford Festival was a copy of Foxe's "Book of Martyrs," in three volumes, with notes in Bunyan's handwriting. Other articles had more the character of domestic and personal association. There was his will, dated 1685, bequeathing all his goods to his wife. The curious old cabinet of inlaid wood, 18 in. square, was given by his great-granddaughter to the person from whom it passed to the Bunyan Meeting-house in 1834. The jug, being that which Bunyan used in prison, and the walking-stick that aided his steps in many a journey on foot to preach the Gospel, are certainly authentic. The chair of John Bunyan and the view of Elstow Church are represented in our pages from photographs by Mr. G. Downes, of Bedford'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
