Haynes is a small village and civil parish located in Bedfordshire, England, about seven miles (11 km) south of Bedford. It includes the small hamlet of Haynes Church End. It was previously known as Hawnes.[1]
The name 'Haynes' is derived from an Old English word meaning "enclosures". It was mentioned in Domesday Book. There is a pub, "The Greyhound", a shop, a post office, a village hall and a Lower School.
In 1730 the philosopher John Gay became Vicar of Wilshamstead (later adding the living of Haynes).
