Introduction

For most of its existence the Pepperstock was part of the parish of Flamstead and thus in Hertfordshire. However, in 1965 the hamlet was moved into Bedfordshire becoming part of the civil parish of Caddington & Slip End, then, in 2000 Pepperstock became part of the newly created Slip End civil parish, still in Bedfordshire. Because of its change of county Bedfordshire & Luton Archives & Records Service does not possess a great number of sources for Pepperstock.

The village seems to have a constant noise in the background, both from the M1 and from aircraft using Luton Airport. It is a very small place and duplex housing and mobile homes, including a Traveller's Site, greatly outnumber the traditional houses.
