Church of St Edmund

The Church of St Edmund is a parish church with origins dating back to the 14th century, with further developments in the 15th and 19th centuries. Its walls are constructed from partly coursed flint rubble, featuring dressings of clunch. The church includes a west tower with a spire, a nave, a chancel, a south porch, and a north vestry, all topped with peg-tiled gabled roofs.

The chancel has a 19th-century three-light east window, while the north wall contains two windows; the eastern window features two cinquefoiled lights with uncusped spandrels and a square head from the 14th century. The western window is a reset early ogival 14th-century design with two trefoiled lights and a square head. Between these is a blocked 14th-century doorway that likely led to a small chamber with a pentice roof on the interior. The south wall has two 15th-century windows, both partially restored, with two cinquefoiled lights under four-centred heads. Between these is a much-restored 15th-century doorway with moulded jambs and a two-centred arch beneath a square head.

The late 14th-century chancel arch is two-centred and consists of two moulded orders with a 19th-century capital. In the nave's north wall, there are two windows; the eastern window has two lights with 19th-century tracery in a two-centred head of 14th-century style. The west wall is from the 19th century, and between the windows is a mid-14th-century doorway with moulded jambs and a two-centred arch with a label. The south wall mirrors the north wall with two windows, although the eastern window remains unrestored. The door is from the 19th century.

The south porch, which dates from the restoration between 1866 and 1868, is an exuberant timber-framed structure with a gabled peg-tiled roof. The roofs of the nave and chancel are from the 15th century. Inside, there is a late 12th-century square bowl font with a circular stem and four small shafts, featuring carved sides. The screen under the chancel arch is not in its original position and consists of three and a half double bays, each sub-bay adorned with cinquefoiled sub-cusped and traceried heads, along with lower panels that have traceried heads and bases, dating from the late 15th century and restored.

A sounding board over the pulpit is supported by a short fluted Doric pilaster with an inlaid soffit and an enriched cornice from the 18th century. The nave contains monuments on the north wall to Sir William Capel, who died in 1613, and on the south wall to Mildred (Capel), the wife of Sir William Lucklyn, Bart., who died in 1633, created by Epiphanius of Evesham. There are also some fragments of 15th-century glass reset in the southeast chancel window.
