A church has stood here since at least 1086 when St Edmund's was mentioned in the Doomsday book. This Grade-I listed church is thought to be pre-Norman. It has a striking round tower, which almost makes it look like a castle.

St Edmund’s church in Taverham has an unusual outer appearance with its thatched chancel which looks slightly higher than the nave. The tower here has 11th century origins, with a lower, west slit window having a flint frame. Higher up on the south side is a stone-framed window, which indicates later 11th century work. It is reported that there was a lightning strike in 1459, causing much damage to the tower, nave and chancel.
