Sundon

Sundon

Sundon is a civil parish in the English county of Bedfordshire. It lies just north of Luton, and its population is estimated as 480. [ [http://www.bedscc.gov.uk/BedsCC/SDimr2.nsf/Web/Thepage/Population+Estimates+and+Forecasts+2005 Bedfordshire County Council: Population Estimates and Forecasts 2005] .] There are two settlements: the one called 'Upper Sundon' at the top of the hill is now the main village, and the presumably older one by the church coord|51|55|49|N|0|28|37|W is now a hamlet called Lower Sundon.

Because of changes to its boundary, the parish no longer includes Sundon Park (which is now an area of Luton) or the 'Sundon Substation' of the National Grid for electricity (which lies west of the railway, near the village of Chalton).
