History
The Domesday Book of 1086, listed Wootton as having 26 residents (20 villagers and six slaves) across ten hides. Wootton has had a long association with brick-making, but is now mainly a dormitory community for Bedford and Milton Keynes. In the 18th century church bells were made here for several churches in Bedfordshire and adjoining counties. Wootton is noted as a parish and scattered village in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1872. By 1901, the population had risen to 1,252. The Church of St Mary the Virgin in the village is mainly 14th century but contains two fine monuments in the chancel to members of the Monoux family who died in 1685 and 1707. To the west of the church is Wootton House, an impressive late 17th-century house with a contemporary, red brick stable block. An archaeological report from 1999 describes Wootton as an agglomeration of "barely distinguishable" separate settlements.
