Bawburgh village is a picturesque village to the west of Norwich,
about five miles from the city centre. It has a thriving community
and the Village Hall is at the centre of many varied activities
such as quiz nights, coffee mornings and social evenings. Many of
the original family members still live in the village and it has
become popular for those who work at the University of East
Anglia, Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and Norwich Research Park.
Bawburgh remains a friendly and welcoming community.
Our village has a school, church, village hall, public house
and a golf course and, with the Yare river running through the centre,
is a popular spot for visitors to sit on the village green and paddle
in the river.
"Fine trees, a spacious green, well kept houses, a mill,
a gentle stream, a narrow bridge, a round-towered church and
a patron saint of its own - Bawburgh, within a short cycle ride
of Norwich, seems to have everything that gives beauty to an
English Village"
