Nash's suggestion of TRING seems very likely, so I suggest that you contact the Public Library ther-

I have not found an e-mail addrees in a brief search.
Public Libraries can be very helpful over here in the UK, particular their Reference Departments, both directly and in giving information about more likely local sources.

There is a BEDLAM in Yorkshire, about 190 miles north of Tring, so unlikely.
But there was/is a hospital in London from which the word/name "Bedlam" originates-

In the 1881 UK Census, the Last Name of Phillips is mainly concentrated in the Principality of Wales, in its south-west quarter.
There is a minor concentration in Hertfordshire (Stevenage on the map frm the site below), so involving Tring, generally just to the north of London-
