St. Andrew's Church in Kirby Bedon is situated in an idyllic rural setting that is surprisingly close to Norwich. It is small, attractive medieval church with a peaceful atmosphere. It has an ancient door, some historic memorials, including one to the crew members of an American bomber that tragically crashed near the village in WW2. It has attractive stained glass and is open daily between 9.30am and 4pm.
Opposite the church are the ruins of St. Mary's church, which feel into disuse by the eighteenth century. The ruins are in a dangerous condition and are fenced off in order to protect the public. However, they are visible from the road.
