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'?
