   This is known as "pointing"

   This is known as "pointing" or "tuck-pointing".  Google those terms and you'll probably find a lot of info.

   I don't know what a bedford home is..............

   And not sure what magnitude the cracks are..........

   but, tuckpointing is something to be concerned about and can be taken care of by a novice.  However, doing it so nobody knows you did it takes a bit of skill and care.

   Cracks in the mortar joint might be something to be more concerned with.

   how bad are these 'cracks'?
