Part of the display in the John Bunyan Museum in Bedford. Bunyan initially spent 12 years in prison. Wikipedia says: “ Bunyan was arrested under the Conventicle Act of 1593, which made it an offence to attend a religious gathering other than at the parish church with more than five people outside their family. It was in Bedford Gaol that he wrote Grace Abounding and started work on The Pilgrim's Progress, as well as penning several tracts that may have brought him a little money.“
