Bedford Parish Chapel

The Bedford Parish Chapel is the religious center of the town of Bedford, which is the primary settlement within the Barony of Westmont.

It is one of the oldest chapels in the region, having been founded in the Age of Conquest in 422 K.C. It was later consecrated the following year. As the Barony of Westmont is significantly smaller than most other parishes and deaneries, it is constituted as a Parish rather than Chapelry.

The main functions conducted within the chapel include weddings, baptisms, and funerals. Additionally, the chapel may often be used for formal ceremonies with the House of Burbridge, who rule the Barony.

It hosts a large graveyard outside the grounds and includes a small pond nearby. While scenic, the chapel grounds largely stand as a mostly undisturbed historical site of early Conquest Era history within Elwynn Forest.

Indeed, its architecture largely reflects this, given the region's founding roughly 200 years ago. The chapel's most distinctive architectural features include the massive window at the southern end of the chapel, and the small steeple at the northern end. Due to a stunted tower rather than a pointed end, the chapel barely rises above the town skyline, though its size and cleared graveyard can be seen easily from the surrounding mountains and from the Burbridge manor grounds.

The chapel is considered a part of the Abbatial Province of Elwynn Forest and as such also a part of the Diocese of Stormwind.

As of 629 K.C., the chapel has been led by Mother Ellilena Crawford. It has a parishioner count of 350 and currently hosts five other clergy attendants.
