Significant Roman finds have been found to the west of the town on the Ampthill Road indicating the presence of a settlement, the size of which had not yet been determined. The course of a possible Roman road may also have run close to the south-western perimeter of the site. The site as a whole had been associated with Shefford Mill, situated on its eastern edge, since at least the early 16th century and probably longer.

    POLLUTION OF RIVERS COMMISSION. (RIVER LEE INQUIRY.) Those Peers who wish for copies of the MINUTES OF EVIDENCE can obtain them of the Clerk of the Printed Papers, House of Lords. LONDON: PRINTED BY GEORGE EDWARD EYRE AND WILLIAM SPOTTISWOODE, PRINTERS TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. FOR HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE. 1867. REPORT. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. WE, Your Majesty's Commissioners appointed by Your Majesty's Commission, dated the 18th day of May 1865, to inquire and report as to the pollution of rivers and running waters, and also as to any remedial measures which may be practicable, having on the 29th March 1866 presented our Report on the main stream of the river Thames, proceeded to examine certain rivers and streams in the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire; but, in consequence of representations made to us upon the subject of an outbreak of cholera in the months of July and August 1866 in Poplar and other parts of the district supplied principally by the East London Waterworks Company, which Company derives its water from the river Lee, we thought it advisable to make earlier inquiry into the pollutions of the river Lee than we otherwise should have done. We commenced to make public inquiry on the 10th December 1866, at the Rivers Commission Offices, No. 2, Victoria Street, Westminster, and we continued such inquiry on the 11th and 15th of the same month, and also on the 4th of February 1867. We also, after due notice in the districts, made public inquiry in the towns of Luton on December 12th 1866.
