==History==
Historically in the hundred of Redbornestoke,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Houghton Conquest )〕 the name of the village originated from the Conquest family who held a manor and lands in the area from the 13th century to the 18th century.〔 Plea Rolls of the Court of Common Pleas; National Archives; CP 40 / 677; http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/H6/CP40no677/bCP40no677dorses/IMG_1331.htm; 7th entry; "John Conquest, of Houghton, Beds, gent" 〕
The Houghton in Houghton Conquest is pronounced how-ton and this has been the official pronunciation since at least 1998.
The Church of All Saints was constructed in the village during the 14th century, and is today the largest parish church in Bedfordshire. Features of interest include the wall paintings, sculpture, stained glass, benches and stalls.〔Jones, Lawrence E. (1965) ''A Guide to Some Interesting Old English Churches''.
