Description
The Church of St Edmund is a parish church built around 1724 in a Palladian style. It features a combination of red brick and stone dressings, comprising a chancel, nave, aisles, a south porch, and an embattled west tower. The facade is characterized by quoins and a moulded stone doorcase with a segmental pediment, along with twin niches adorned with voluted ornaments above. There are similar stone doorcases on the aisles to the right and left, each topped with catherine-wheel windows in architraves. The aisle windows are semi-circular headed and set within moulded stone architraves, with plain brick pilasters on the sides and a parapet running along the top. The interior was altered around 1864 and includes early 18th-century pews, a pulpit, and a panelled gallery.
