Parish Church of Saint Edward

The Parish Church of Saint Edward is an Anglican church. The west tower is 15th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1860 by T.H. Wyatt. The building incorporates some medieval fragments. It is constructed from rubble stone with ashlar dressings, covered by slate roofs with coped gables. The nave and aisles have separate pitched roofs.

The church consists of a nave, north and south aisles of four bays each with a clerestory, a chancel with north and south aisles of two bays and a projecting sanctuary, and a west tower. There is also a south porch. The tower has diagonal buttresses, a moulded plinth, a semi-octagonal stair turret on the north side, and a battlemented parapet with corner pinnacles. A moulded string course runs below the parapet, with carved gargoyles projecting from it. The belfry windows are two-light square-headed, and the main west window contains three lights with intersecting tracery. The west door has a straight-sided arch in a square frame, with shields within the spandrels, flanked by canopied niches on carved head corbels. Other windows include two-light windows with plate tracery and a three-light window with geometrical tracery in the south aisle wall, a shouldered arched doorway, two lancets and a three-light window with geometrical tracery in the south chancel aisle wall, two-light square headed windows in the north and south walls of the sanctuary, and an east window with intersecting tracery and a battlemented transome. In the north aisle, there is a blocked doorway with a two-light window above it, two lancets, and a three-light window with geometrical tracery. The north porch has a pointed arched doorway with shafts reminiscent of the 12th century.

Inside, the chancel has an arch-braced collar beam roof. The chancel arcades are in the 13th century style, with clustered Purbeck marble columns. A reset lancet and a 14th century doorway (now internal) are located in the north wall, while a blocked 13th century doorway is visible in the south wall. The nave has an arch-braced scissor roof. The nave arcades have circular columns and stiff-leaf caps, with one column dating from the early 13th century and re-used. The tower arch features shafts with moulded caps and four carved heads. Within the tower, there are two fragments of carved 15th century Purbeck marble, and other medieval fragments are stored loose in the church. In the north chancel aisle, there are two 15th century inscribed wall tablets and one from 1686. The Royal Arms of Charles II are painted over the north door, and there is a good wall monument dating from 1677 to the west of it. A 15th century octagonal font, made of Purbeck marble with panelled sides, is also present.
