Today Barton Bendish is an attractive friendly village ‘off the beaten track’ with the hamlet of Eastmoor nearly a mile away also being part of the parish. Once a bustling community, the village no longer has a shop, post office, school or a regular bus service.
Standing opposite is the Village Hall which, despite the small size of the village, hosts various events throughout the year.
The ‘Open Gardens Day’ held each year in June attracts many visitors from West Norfolk and further afield.
The civil parish has an area of 15.92 km² and in the 2021 census had a population of 205. Further census information for Barton Bendish can be found HERE.
