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).

They are awards to students for achieving the

To apply for a grant, please email a letter of request with the following information:
1. The course you will be studying
2. The University/College you will be studying at
3. Home address where payment can be sent

Email your request to the administrator at: rannochpnc@outlook.com by Sunday 1st September to be considered.

Do you own land,
a paddock, field or wood
around Baydon?
If so would you help us raise money to assist in the repair to our church?

We are asking if you would allow access for metal detectorists, who belong to a local club, to look for ‘treasure’ on your land (field, paddock or even garden) for just one day only on Sunday 29th September.

Club members pay £15, non members or families £20 for the day. All proceeds will go to the church fund.
Any treasure found will be shared 50/50 with the land owner.

Please call Tom McGowran

Email team1consultants@yahoo.co.uk
for further information. Many thanks.
