The Bell - on the village green
|
The village of Odell is one of the smallest of the Ouse valley villages, with about two hundred households. Though small, it is a lively, thriving community in which every age group is represented.
Odell is situated in the north of Bedfordshire, near to the borders with Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, and the influence of these counties can be seen in Odell’s old association with lacemaking and, more recently, the leather industry.
It has always been a farming community, with much of the land belonging to Lord Luke of Pavenham and Odell, but in recent years the village has attracted many who work in local towns - with Bedford only ten miles away - and commuters, with a fast train service from Bedford to London.
