The church of St. Nicholas, Baydon dates from the 12th century with restorations taking place in 1857, 1876 and 1892. The earliest reference to the church comes from 1196. The first church was built of flint rubble and limestone. Only the nave and north arcade survive of the Norman church. The three stage tower was rebuild in the 15th century and one of the three bells dates from 1670. The vestry was replaced in 1853. The clock is a memorial to the nine men of Baydon who lost their lives in the First World War.
The published coordinates take you to the path leading to the church from the road. There is on street parking near to the path. You will have to walk round the church and locate the two benches.
You need the date on the bench in memory of Lile Reid. Call it AB/CD/EFGH.
The bench in memory of Philip Mather has Psalm JKL written on it.
