In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bushmead like this:
BUSHMEAD, a seat on the north border of Beds; 5 miles W of St. Neots. A priory of Black canons was founded here, in the time of Henry II., by the Beauchamps; came, at the dissolution, to Sir W. Gascoigne; and passed to the Gerys.
