Village in Bedfordshire, England
Flitton
Flitton is a village in the civil parish of Flitton and Greenfield, in the Central Bedfordshire district of Bedfordshire, England.
The village derives its name from the River Flit which flows close by it. It is notable primarily as the home of the De Grey Mausoleum adjacent to the St John the Baptist Church. Richard Milward, the editor of Selden's Table Talk, was born at Flitton in 1609. There are two pubs, The White Hart by the church hall and Jolly Coopers at Wardhedges. The annual ‘Gala’ and ‘Potato Race’ are two of the main events that happen in the village.
