A publicity photograph of Gary Cooper in about the 1940s.
The film star Gary Cooper was related to the Freeman family, who ran the mills in Houghton Regis. His godmother was Laura Freeman, who lived at the White House in the Hight Street.
Gary was a frequent visitor at the White House when he was sent to England to be educated at the Dunstable Grammar School. He and his brother Arthur were baptised at All Saints Church in December 1911 when he was aged 10.
