Come for the black plague-era wall paintings, stay for the inspirational 1960s school transportation policies.

Heydon, Norfolk looks like the set of All Creatures Great and Small. Or Brideshead Revisited. It’s used as a location for that kind of historical drama.

It features a grand hall, a working farm, a towering church of England, a village green, a quaint pub, a quainter tearoom. That kind of thing.

I can’t find any photos that testify to the sheer quaintness of Heydon. So you’ll just have to settle for a bird’s eye view.

I don’t need much of an excuse to take a trip to Heydon.

When the Dereham Times proclaims the opening of a new bakery, I stuff the family into a car and set off.

I pay homage to The Three Living and the Three Dead

Or the two former and one latter that remain.
