Elstow, Bedfordshire, England/ Bun'an:s End was lo%ated a$$roimatel' half wa' between the

hamlet of 0arrowden(one mile southeast of Bedford! and Elstow:s 0igh 7treet/ Dohn is re%orded in

the Elstow $arish register as having been ba$tised, with his surname s$elled :Bun'an:, on 3

November 1628/

he surname :Bun'an: has been found s$elled over thirt'Gfour different wa'sH Bin'an, Buniun,

Bon'on, Buignon, being the most %ommon . Bun'an being the most re%ent/ @ifferen%es in s$elling

surnames was %ommon in earlier da's/ he surname almost %ertainl' is derived from the 4ren%h:Buignon:, a famil' that %ame to England as Norman feudal retainers/ here are lo%al re%ords of

various Bun'ans, with various s$ellings- a #illiam Bunion, of nearb' #ilsamstade (#ilstead!, is

mentioned in the 11 AssiCe rolls- a 0enr' Bun'an and a Dohn Buingnon are mentioned in a

@unstable &hroni%le re$ort dated 121- a ;al$h Buingnon of @unstable was hanged in 121- a Dohn

Bo'nun of I=ulloes hilleI died in 1286/ hese $ersons, lo%ated in roughl' the same area, almost

%ertainl' belonged to the same wide famil', though individual s%ribes s$elled the name differentl'/

0owever, given that the $la%es in whi%h the' are re%orded as living . 0arrowden and Bun'an:s End

. were but tin' hamlets, it seems fairl' %ertain that the following $eo$le were among Dohn Bun'an:s

ante%edents- a Fatilda who married a #illiam Bo'nun of 0arewedon (5 'ards from Bon'ons

End! in 132, a #illiam Bon'on :of Bon'onJs End: 19KK G1591, a homas Bon'on born 152, and a

#idow Bunnion buried 2 Dul' 1612/

Dohn:s grandfather was one homas Bon'an, (born 15KK died 1691!/ Elstow Fanor &ourt:s meetings

were held in Foot 0alland homas Bon'an is re%orded on manorial rollsas having served there as

a +uror/ 0is last home was a %ottage on Elstow 0igh 7treet, net to the $resent da' I=ilgrim 0ouseI,

and ba%ed on Elstow Lreen and Foot 0all/ homas had three %hildren b' his first wife (name

unnown! . EliCabeth, born 15K, Edward, born 16 and homas . born 29 4ebruar' 163/

homas:s first wife died in 163 . $ossibl' while, or as a result of, giving birth to homas Dnr/

homas 7nr/ went on to marr' three more times and sired another seven %hildren/

homas Bun'an (b/163! married Anne =inne' (or I=urne'I! in 1629 but she died in A$ril 162/

Dust one month later, on 23 Fa' 162, homas married his se%ond wife, Fargaret Bentle'/ "ie

homas, Fargaret was from Elstow and had also been born in 163/ (n 1628, Fargaret:s sister,;ose Bentle', had married homas Bun'an:s halfGbrother Edward/! homas earned his living as a

%ha$man, but he ma' also have been abraCier. one who made andor mended ettles and $ots/

Dohn Bun'an later wrote of his modest origins- :F' des%ent was of a low and in%onsiderable

generation, m' father:s house being of that ran that is meanest and most des$ised of all the families

of the land/: his is $ure eaggeration, given that re%ords at Bedfordshire Ar%hivesshow that Dohn:s

grandfather (homas 7nr/! owned several $ro$erties in Elstow/

n his writings, Dohn refers to his da's when he was :$ut to s%hool:/ his maysim$l' have meant that

he was s%hooled at his father:s house, $ossibl' with other %ountr' bo's/ 0owever, the level of

litera%' of Dohn:s adult writings indi%ates that he ma' have attended a formal s%hool/ here were

onl' two s%hools nown to have eisted within reasonable distan%e from Dohn:s home- one in0oughton &onMuestandBedford 7%hool/ 7ome believe that onl' $u$ils living within the Borough

of Bedford were eligible for a $la%e atBedford 7%hooland, if so, as Elstow was not then $art of

Bedford Borough, that Dohn %ould not have attended there/

"ie his father homas, Dohn %hose a +ob :on the road: b' ado$ting the trade of tiner/ his was a

semiGsilled o%%u$ation, and the arrival of a tiner was therefore often a wel%ome sight- few $eo$le

%ould afford to $ur%hase new $ots when old ones be%ame damaged, so $ots were mended time and

time again/ 0owever, the semiGnomadi% nature of their life led to tiners being regarded, b' some,

in the same $oor light as L'$siesand ethni% travellers/

1699 was an eventful 'ear for the Bun'an famil'H in Dune, Dohn lost his mother and, in Dul', his

sister Fargaret died/ 4ollowing this, his father married (for the third time! to Anne =inne' (or

=urne'! and a halfGbrother, &harles, was born/

t ma' have been the arrival of his ste$mother that, following his 16th birthda', led Dohn to leave

the famil' home and enlist in the =arliamentar' arm'G a =arliamentar' edi%t demanded 225 re%ruits

from the town of Bedford/>1?4rom 1699 to 169, Dohn served atNew$ort =agnellgarrison and his

name a$$ears on a Fuster;oll, held at the &entre for Bu%inghamshire 7tudies/Although he had

finished his reMuired time of servi%e in the =arliamentar' arm' b' 1695, he +oined another regiment

and %ontinued serving until 169/>2?he English &ivil #arwas then nearing the end of the first

stage/ Bun'an tells the stor' of being saved from death when a fellow soldier volunteered to go into

battle in his $la%e and was illed while waling sentr' dut'/>3?

After the &ivil #ar was won b'the =arliamentarians, Bun'an returned to Elstow and resumed hisformer trade of being a tiner or braCier/

n his autobiogra$h', Grace Abounding, Bun'an wrote that he had led an abandoned life in his

'outh and was morall' re$rehensible as a result/ 0owever, there a$$ears to be no outward eviden%e

that he was an' worsethan his neighbours/ 0owever, his %olleagues in the =arliamentar' Arm' did

s$end mu%h of their time in New$ort =agnell:s averns and Brothels, so $erha$s in this as$e%t of his

%hara%ter, Bun'an was not eaggerating/ Eam$les of sins whi%h Dohn a%tuall' %onfessed to are

$rofanit', dan%ing, and bellGringing/ An in%reasing awareness of his unGbibli%al life led him to

%ontem$late a%ts of im$iet' and $rofanit'- in $arti%ular, he was harassed b' a %uriosit' in regard to

the Iun$ardonable sinI and a $re$ossession that he had alread' %ommitted it/ 0e was nown for his

$rofanit'- even the most $rofi%ient swearers remared that Bun'an was Ithe ungodliest fellow for

swearing the' ever heardI/

hen he began to hear voi%es urging him to Isell &hristI and was tortured b' fearful visions/ #hile

$la'ing a game of i$G%aton Elstowvillage green, Bun'an heard a voi%e that asedH I#ilt thou

leave th' sins and go to heaven or have th' sins and go to hellKI Be%ause =uritansheld the 7abbath

da' sa%red and $ermitted no s$ort, Dohn believed that this had been the voi%e of Lod, %hastising his

indulgent wa's/ Dohn:s s$iritualit' was born from this e$erien%e and he began to struggle with

guilt, selfGdoubt and to believe in the Bible:s $romise of damnationand salvation/

n 169, when he was about 21, Dohn moved from :Bun'an:s End: into a %ottage on the western side

of the northern end of Elstow:s 0igh 7treet (the %ottage shown above!/ (A stone $laMue on the

gatewa' of 7t 0elena ;estaurant mars this s$ot/!

n 165 Dohn married a 'oung woman, an or$han, whose inheritan%e from her father was +ust two

boos- Arthur @ent:sPlain Man's Pathway to Heavenand"ewis Ba'l':sPractice of Piety, and the

%ontent of these two boos a$$ears to have strongl' influen%ed Dohn towards a religious life/ t is

strange that, whilst we now the details of these boos, Dohn:s wife:s name is not re%orded/

0owever, their first daughter (born, blind, in 165!, was named Far' . so it is $ossible, as was

%ommon in those da's, that she was named after her mother/ he Bun'ans: life was modest, to sa'

the least/ Bun'an wrote that the' were Ias $oor as $oor might beI, not even Ia dish or s$oon

between themI/ Again, this ma' have been something of an eaggeration/

As Dohn struggled with his newGfound &hristian faith, he be%ame in%reasingl' des$ondent and fell

into mental turmoil/ @uring this time of %onfli%t, Bun'an began a fourG'earGlong dis%ussion and

s$iritual +ourne' with a few $oor women of Bedford who belonged to a non%onformistse%t thatworshi$$ed in 7t/ Dohn:s &hur%h, Bedford/ 0e also in%reasingl' identified himself with 7t/ =aul,

who had %hara%terised himself as :the %hief of sinners/: As a result of these e$erien%es, Bun'an was

re%eived as a member into 7t Dohn:s %hur%h and he began to follow the tea%hings of its $astor, Dohn

Lifford/

0is se%ond daughter, EliCabeth, was born in 1659/

n 1655, Bun'an moved his famil' to 7t &uthbert:s 7treet, Bedford/ hat same 'ear, Dohn Lifford

died and Dohn Bun'an started $rea%hing/ t was also in this 'ear that his first wife, Far', died

leaving him with 9 %hildren, one of whom was blind/>9?

n 1656, Dohn:s first boo- I7ome Los$el ruthsI was $ublished- his first son . homas . was born-

Dohn be%ame a member of the 7t Dohn: %hur%h- and Dohn Burton was a$$ointed minister/n 165 Dohn be%ame a dea%on- his se%ond son . Dohn . was born- and Dohn:s se%ond boo

was des%ribed as Ia wit%h, a Desuit, a highwa'manI and was said to have mistresses and multi$le

wives/

n 1658, now 3 'ears old, he was arrested for $rea%hing at Eaton 7o%onand indi%ted for $rea%hing

without a li%en%e, but this offen%e did not result in im$risonment and he %ontinued $rea%hing/n 165, Bun'an married again, to EliCabeth (surname unnown!, b' whom he had two more

%hildren . 7arah (born 166! and Dose$h (born 162!/

something he had en+o'ed under the =uritan &ommonwealth/ 0e was arrested on 12 November

166, whilst $rea%hing $rivatel' in "ower 7amsell in #estoning, Bedfordshire, 1 miles south of

Bedford/

Dohn was brought before magistrate 7ir 4ran%is #ingate, at 0arlington 0ouse (still standing, but

now %alled 0arlington Fanor and the onl' %urrentl' o%%u$ied residential building %onne%ted

with Bun'an! where he refused to desist from $rea%hing/ #ingate sent him to Bedford &ount'

Laol, in 7ilver 7treet, Bedford, to %onsider his situation/ After a month, Bun'an re$orts (in his own

a%%ount of his im$risonment! that #ingate:s %ler visited him, seeing to get him to %hange his

mind/ #ingate:s %ler told Bun'an that all the authorities wanted was for Bun'an to undertae not

to $rea%h atprivategatherings, as it was sus$e%ted that these nonG%onformist meetings were being

used b' $eo$le $lotting against the ing/ n answer to the %ler, Dohn argued that Lod:s law obliged

him to $rea%h at an' and ever' o$$ortunit' and so he was dut' bound to refuse this suggested

%om$romise/

n Danuar' 1661, Bun'an was brought before the Ouarter 7essions in the &ha$el of 0erne, Bedford/0is $rose%utor, Fr/ Dusti%e #ingate, des$ite Bun'an:s %lear brea%hes of the ;eligion A%t 152,was

7trenuous efforts were made b' Dohn:s wife, EliCabeth, to get his %ase reGheard at the s$ring assiCes/

But Bun'an:s %ontinued assertions that he would, if freed, $rea%h to his awaiting %ongregation

resulted in the magistrates refusing to %onsider an' new hearing/ 7imilar efforts were made the

following 'ear but, again, to no avail/

he legalit' of Dohn:s earl' 'ears of im$risonment was dubious, to sa' the least, as there was

a%tuall' no statute in for%e $rohibiting him for the a%t for whi%h he was im$risoned- i/e/ $rea%hing
