Moggerhanger is a village in the English county of Bedfordshire. It is west of Sandy on the road to Bedford. Its population in 2001 was 636, but had reduced to 620 at the 2011 Census. In the twentieth century the village name was spelled variously as: Moggerhanger, Mogerhanger, Muggerhanger and Morehanger. Local pronunciation of the name is as Morhanger.
The parish church is dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. It was built in 1860 when the village, with the hamlet of Chalton, became a separate ecclesiastical parish. Before that, they had been hamlets in the parish of Blunham.
Moggerhanger House, a Grade I listed building designed largely by John Soane, is situated in the village.
The house is now used as a conference and training centre for most of the year, but opens as a tourist attraction from mid-June to mid-September, during which time public tours are conducted twice daily.
Free access to the grounds is available throughout the year. There is a spacious tea room and children's play area within the grounds.
The house has become a centre of local community activities and its successful restoration has been a triumph for the local village and for Bedfordshire.
The Moggerhanger House Preservation Trust, a registered charity, is currently trying to secure funds to restore Humphrey Repton's 33-acre sparkland surrounding the house.
