π‘A FREE MUSEUM IN BEDFORD- The Panacea, a beautiful Victorian House.
Discover the amazing story of the unique religious community that created its own Garden of Eden in the centre of Bedford. The museum has beautiful gardens to walk around.
βOPEN:
Thursday - Sunday, 11am - 5pm
(last admission 4.30pm)
π SOME INTERESTING HISTORY
The Panacea Society was originally called βThe Community of the Holy Ghostβ, and was made up mostly of women. Its leader was Mabel Barltrop β the widow of an English clergyman, and mother of four childrenβ whose followers called her βOctaviaβ.
Octavia. The founder of the Panacea Society.
During the 1920s, followers of the Panacea Society moved to Bedford to live near Octavia. Eventually, the community was able to combine the gardens of several properties to form βthe campusβ β a private space between the community houses, with a chapel at its centre.
From this headquarters, the Society operated a religious organisation which reached across the world. Over two thousand people became members of the Panacea Society, in Europe, North America and many parts of the British Empire and Commonwealth.
From its beginning, the Panacea Society expected the end of the world. Society members were convinced that God would soon act to bring about a new age β a period of peace and happiness called βthe Millenniumβ.
The Panacea Society was part of a wider religious movement of groups concerned with prophecy. The Panaceans believed that God was speaking to them through Octavia, but her followers did not believe she was the only modern prophet. Rather, they accepted a lineage of seven prophetic voices since the late 1700s β a tradition they called βthe Visitationβ.

Children trails, colouring sheets and wooden toys in the activity space in the main museum building 'Castleside'.

π SOME INTERESTING HISTORY
The Panacea Society was originally called βThe Community of the Holy Ghostβ, and was made up mostly of women. Its leader was Mabel Barltrop β the widow of an English clergyman, and mother of four childrenβ whose followers called her βOctaviaβ.
Octavia. The founder of the Panacea Society.
During the 1920s, followers of the Panacea Society moved to Bedford to live near Octavia. Eventually, the community was able to combine the gardens of several properties to form βthe campusβ β a private space between the community houses, with a chapel at its centre.
From this headquarters, the Society operated a religious organisation which reached across the world. Over two thousand people became members of the Panacea Society, in Europe, North America and many parts of the British Empire and Commonwealth.
From its beginning, the Panacea Society expected the end of the world. Society members were convinced that God would soon act to bring about a new age β a period of peace and happiness called βthe Millenniumβ.
The Panacea Society was part of a wider religious movement of groups concerned with prophecy. The Panaceans believed that God was speaking to them through Octavia, but her followers did not believe she was the only modern prophet. Rather, they accepted a lineage of seven prophetic voices since the late 1700s β a tradition they called βthe Visitationβ.
π§ FOR CHILDREN
