Heydon
is one of less than a dozen privately owned villages in Great Britain.
It is situated down a no-through-road to the west of the Corpusty
to Horsford road. Picturesque houses surround the village green. The
church is situated by the side of the green and next to the gates
of Heydon Hall, a large Elizabethan House which became the family
home of the Bulwer family in the 17th century. There
are three war memorials in the large Parish Church. One
is a wooden Roll of Honour to men who served in World War 2. A Marble
Memorial lists The Fallen in World War 1 and gives full name, rank
and Regiment.
REMEMBER
THE LOYAL AND GALLANT MEN OF
HEYDON WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE
CAUSE OF FREEDOM AND RIGHT DURING THE
GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919
THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.
The
third is a wooden Roll of Honour of men who served in World War 1 –
those who died are indicated. The list below is from the Roll of Honour
and the names have been listed alphabetically for ease of use.
