Bunyan's Mead
A number of properties in the village date from the 16th and 17th century, some are listed buildings. There are three thatched cottages left in the village and visitors often photograph the black and white timbered cottages on the High Street. Elstow used to have five public houses but only two remain both date from about 1790 and the post office has stood on the same site since 1700. The new housing developments of Hillesden and Abbeyfields over the last decade have increased the population of Elstow from 513 in 1931 to 1200 in 1998.
