Day-to-day life in Great Bedwyn centres on the church, the primary school and the station. Around 1,350 people live in the parish, which includes the hamlets of Crofton and St Katharines. Great Bedwyn Church of England School, which moved into a new building on the edge of the village in 1994, takes primary-age children, while residents look to Marlborough and Hungerford for larger shops and secondary schools.
The village has a long history. King Alfred's will mentions Bedwyn, the borough sent two members to Parliament from 1295 until 1832, and the physician Thomas Willis, a founder of the Royal Society, was born here in 1621. The Grade I listed Church of St Mary the Virgin has 12th century origins and holds a memorial to Sir John Seymour, father of Jane Seymour. Homes for sale are mainly older village houses and cottages around the centre, with some later properties. Nearby, Crofton Pumping Station houses a working Boulton and Watt beam engine from 1812, and Wilton Windmill, built in 1821, stands on the chalk ridge between Wilton and Great Bedwyn.
The Kennet and Avon Canal, opened from Hungerford to Great Bedwyn in 1799, runs through the village with four locks in the parish, and its towpath gives easy walking in both directions. Bedwyn station is on the line between Reading and the West Country, and since 2021 a Great Western Railway shuttle has run to Newbury, with some direct trains to London Paddington at peak times. By road, Marlborough and Hungerford are both a short drive away.
