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 560, including those from outlying farms, and encompasses about 270 houses

St Nicholas Church is located in the centre of the village, and nearby are the village pub (The Red Lion), and the village shop / post office (Baydon Village Stores). 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

Baydon's annual bonfire and fireworks - Saturday 5th November

This year the annual bonfire and fireworks will be held at the cricket field on Saturday 5th November, with the bonfire lit at 6pm and fireworks to follow at 6.45pm (timings are approximate). Baydon Brownies will be providing refreshments as usual. The cricket field opened from Tuesday (20th September) for people to put "BURNABLE" garden cuttings only on the bonfire. Can we ask please for people to be sensible about the things they put on the bonfire, no soft furnishings, mattresses etc because we will have no hesitation in closing the field as we have done in previous years if it is abused. You can get the key for the gate from Baydon shop where a donation can be made in return for the key, which must be returned to the shop the same day to enable others to use it. Look forward to seeing you on the night, if you require any further information please contact either Trevor (01672 540450) or Jim (01672 540896)
