John Bunyan Museum — Attraction in England

I love this place and it's subject: John Bunyan! Every time I get a chance to take a friend who's visiting the UK from overseas, I go back, and every time I go back, I learn, see and notice something new about the incredible life of this remarkable man of God, his battles, his accomplishments, his priceless literature and lots more, it never gets old for me!

We also bought a children's version of Pilgrims Progress from the gift shop and it's since become one of my son's favourite books. Would...

A particular type of history is hereby presented and done well with books, pamphlets and guides. Interesting and suitable items and placards develop John's life and that of the Christian understanding he had and how it has since impacted the world. This was through his strong stand on his beliefs and his book "Pilgrim's Progress". Most worthwhile for any who have had anything to do with the latter, and the way people stand for their Christian faith when under pressure to opt out. Parking can be had nearby and there was a light meals only cafe within the Church building (which is a valuable tour itself with Pilgrim's progress detailed in...
