The Village
The parish church of St. Lawrence is part of the Bardney Group of the Deanery of Horncastle in the Diocese of Lincoln. There is also an active Methodist chapel; the current minister is the Rev'd Colin Watkins.
The modern primary school, Bardney Church of England and Methodist Primary School, was opened in 1983. It replaced two earlier schools merged in 1964.
The village has pre-school facilities, including Bardney Mother and Toddler Group which meets at the Methodist Hall, a Butcher's shop, a general store and two pubs.

Famous quotes containing the word village:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homoeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
