Bacton is a small village in a rural area of south-west Herefordshire, England, 14 miles (23 km) from Hereford.

[6] The parish church of St Faith's dates from 13th century and has a lengthy entry in Pevsner's survey of the county's buildings.

It is possible that an altar cloth belonging to the church was made from a dress once worn by Queen Elizabeth I of England and given to Blanche Parry.

[7][8] The church belongs to the Ewyas Harold group of parishes and has a service about once a month.

A further 16 buildings, barns and monuments from the 17th to 20th centuries are listed as Grade II, several of them in the churchyard.
