Kirby Bedon is a hamlet[1] in South Norfolk which lies approximately 3½ miles (5½ km) south-east of Norwich on the road to Bramerton.
St Andrew's contains a plaque erected by parishioners in memory of four crew members of "Broad and High", an American B-24 Liberator bomber who were killed when it crashed near the church on 18 August 1944 as it returned to Rackheath from a raid on Germany.
[5] The village no longer has a pub; the Stracey Arms on the main road from Norwich to Bramerton closed in 1967.
They were a very successful side which won the Norfolk Summer League on many occasions as well as many other cups and titles.
Kirby Bedon is linked to Norwich by bus route 85 operated by Konectbus, providing nine services a day into Norwich and to the neighbouring villages of Bramerton, Surlingham and Rockland St Mary.
