Church Of St Edmund

The Church of St Edmund is a 15th-century church built from flint with stone dressings. The chancel was rebuilt in 1830, and the west tower was reconstructed in 1863 during a restoration of the church. The tower features angle buttresses, a castellated parapet, and an octagonal corner staircase turret. The nave also has a castellated parapet. The south doors were crafted by Thomas Elliston in 1766. Inside, the nave boasts braced cambered beams with crown posts, while the aisles have moulded beams and joists, adorned with carved bosses depicting heads and Tudor roses. Notable interior fittings include a brass from around 1500 commemorating a knight and lady, a brass for Robert Gurdon (died 1577) and his wife, and a brass for John Gurdon (died 1623) and his wife. In the chancel, there is a double wall monument from around 1625 featuring two pairs of kneeling figures for Robert Gurdon and John Gurdon. Additionally, the south aisle contains a wall monument for Brampton Gurdon (died 1648) and his two wives. The church is recognized for its historical significance and internal features.
