Description
The Church of St. Edmund is a parish church with a nave that shows evidence from the Norman or pre-Norman period, and a 14th-century Decorated tower. The north aisle and chancel were largely constructed in 1881 by Edwin Dolby, an architect from Abingdon. The building features flint, carstone conglomerate, stone, and brick, with tiled roofs across the tower, nave, south porch, north aisle, and chancel.
The Decorated tower includes a west window with "Y" tracery and a niche, as well as belfry stage 2-light Decorated windows and a battlemented parapet, all of which were rebuilt in 1960. The south porch was added in 1881. The south side of the nave has a blocked arched-headed Norman door and conglomerate quoins at the southeast gable. There is one "Y" tracery 2-light window and one 3-light straight-headed Perpendicular window. The chancel was rebuilt in 1821 and around 1860, while the north aisle features details in the Perpendicular style from 1881.
Inside, the church has a 2-bay north aisle and a Perpendicular chancel arch. The roofs, also from 1881, include a boarded waggon roof in the chancel. The chancel has a piscina in the Perpendicular style with an ogee head and a W monogram in the spandrels set in a fleuron ring. The nave contains a 15th-century octagonal font featuring the symbols of the four Evangelists and a W monogram within crowns of thorns.
