Bawburgh

Situated 6 miles west of Norwich, Bawburgh is a picturesque village with a mill that was mentioned in the Domesday Book. Until 1967 this mill was working but, having undergone conversion, it now provides homes that overlook the River Yare.

Since 1016, pilgrims have travelled far and wide to worship at the burial site of St Walston, the patron of agriculture and farm workers, which is within the grounds of Bawburgh Parish Church. The villagers still pay homage once a year to the 11th century Saint.

A warmth of popular feeling surrounds the royal image of King Edward, seen as the bonhomous and stately embodiment of the age to which he gave his name. As long as we continue to invest the Edwardian era with a reputation for delicious if somewhat upholstered pleasures, the personality of King Edward himself will surely continue to arouse the same nostalgia.
