The eastern boundary of the parish forms part of the county boundary with Berkshire and the village is about {{convert|7|mi|km}} north-west of the West Berkshire market town of Hungerford. HistoryBaydon is close to the Ridgeway, a pre-Roman road. The settlement is on the course of Ermin Way, a Roman Road between Corinium Dobunnorum (Cirencester) and Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester). The earliest reference to Baydon as a place name is in 1196.[2] Sir Isaac Newton bought an estate in Baydon which he settled on three of his grand-nephews and nieces days before his death in 1727.[3] He later admitted that he had overpaid for it. Until the 1790s, when it became an independent ecclesiastical parish, Baydon was a chapelry of Ramsbury parish.[2] The M4 motorway which passes just north of the village was opened on 22 December 1971. Religious sitesThe Church of England parish church of Saint Nicholas[4] has a Norman nave and two-bay north arcade.[5] The south aisle and northern clerestory are Early English Gothic.[5] The north aisle was rebuilt in 1857-58 by the Gothic Revival architect G.E. Street.[5] The south clerestory is Perpendicular Gothic.[5] The west window, dated 1928, is by Edward Woore and is a memorial to the Rev. Augustus Gibson.[6] The church is Grade II* listed.[7] A Particular Baptist chapel named Providence Chapel was built in 1806; it closed between 1885 and 1922, then was demolished.[8] A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1823; by 1939 it was a private house.[9] AmenitiesThe village school, near the church, has stood since 1843 and is now Baydon St Nicholas Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School.[10][11] The village has a pub, the Red Lion, and a shop with a Post Office. Notable residentsIan Lomax (1931-1996, cricketer) farmed near Baydon. Kevin Wilkinson (1958-1999, pop musician) lived at Baydon.
