Welcome to the Baydon Village Website

The peaceful village of Baydon is found on the old Roman Road of Ermin Street that dips and sweeps through undulating countryside, rising to over 760 feet above sea level at Baydon. The total population of Baydon is approximately 600, including those from outlying farms, and encompasses about 280 houses.

St Nicholas Church is located in the centre of the village, and nearby are the village shop / post office (Baydon Village Stores) and the village pub (The Red Lion).
The primary school (Baydon St. Nicholas C. of E. School) is situated next to the church and is very well regarded, attracting children from the surrounding villages.

To keep up to date with Baydon village news and events, please do revisit our village website, plus also see the latest edition of our own local bi-monthly publication
(Scene in Baydon).

Urgent Plea from the Fireworks Team

Bonfire night.
For the last 10 years+ the Baydon Brownies have been providing the refreshments for our annual Bonfire and Fireworks Display.

The Baydon Brownies are under new leadership and unfortunately they no longer wish to continue doing this. We would like to ask if there are any other groups within the village who would like to provide the refreshments before we look outside of the village.
If anyone is interested can they please contact either;
Trevor (07836721777) or Jim (07719733720)
by 1st August please
