The parish had a population of 185 in the 2001 UK census,[3] reducing to 169 at the 2011 census, and is grouped with Grendon Bishop and Wacton to form Bredenbury & District Group Parish Council for administrative purposes.[4]

The parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, is in the syle of 1300 but was built in the 1870s from a design by T H Wyatt.[5] Land for the church was donated by William Barneby, of nearby Bredenbury Court. The Barneby family commissioned many of the interior furnishings for the new church.[6] Wyatt also designed the first phase of Bredenbury Court in the Italianate style. An extension in 1902 was designed by Sir Guy Dawber.[5]

Bredenbury Primary School is much smaller than average, but was rated as outstanding by Ofsted in 2008.[7]

Bredenbury Court Barns is one of the more historic and iconic venues situated within Bredenbury, with the barns now being used for weddings.[8]
