Named after the murder of St. Edward the Martyr in 978, this church was built in the 12th century. During the Civil War (1642-1646), the masonry was used for target practice, which is why you can still see shot marks inside and outside the building. In the mid-19th century, it underwent a major restoration in which the walls were demolished and rebuilt, except for the tower.
