Welcome to the Website for the Wiltshire village of Great Bedwyn.

The aim of this site is to provide a local resource for people living in, or connected to, the village. See photos of the village at the foot of this page.

Most of the articles from the July 2009 Issue appear on the Parish News page.

See the PARISH COUNCIL page for the minutes of the latest Council meeting - 10th June 2009.

Are you looking for a house in Great Bedwyn? My house is currently for sale. If you're looking for a detached 4 bedroom house in an idyllic location, close to the Kennet & Avon Canal, yet only 5 minutes walk from Bedwyn station (direct line to Newbury, Reading & Paddington) have a look at this: http://www.henrygeorge.co.uk/php/detail.php3?propid=5040  you can contact me via the website contact link in the left-hand margin.  This house is in catchment for two excellent schools: Great Bedwyn C of E Primary School & St John's School & Community College, Marlborough

As well as living in such a beautiful area of the country, we are also very lucky to have two very significant historical landmarks on our doorstep: 

WILTON WINDMILL is managed by the Wilton Windmill Society and is staffed entirely by volunteers.  The mill is fully operational and when there is sufficient wind, they produce their own stone ground flour.  The flour can be bought at the Windmill and also at other local outlets and farm shops in the area. Look at the Parish News page for details of their up and coming Victorian Day and visit their website at www.wiltonwindmill.co.uk  

CROFTON PUMPING STATION (The Beam Engines) has started its new season after a winter during which much repair and maintenance work was carried out. They will be open Thursdays to Tuesdays for the new season from Friday 10 April until Sunday 27 September and in steam on 11, 12 & 13 April, 2, 3, & 4 May, 23, 24 & 25 May, 27 & 28 June, 1 & 2 August, 29, 30 & 31 August and 26 & 27 September.

The Bedwyn Millennium Choir have been in action since 1999. They have their own web page hosted as part of this site - see blue button in the left hand margin. Their Spring season 2009 rehearsals started on the 23rd February. Have a look at their page if you are interested in getting involved.
