Edington is a small village on the edge of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, and its Priory is one of England's most important village churches. Built by William of Edington, a former Bishop of Winchester, the church was completed in 1361.
The Friends of Edington Priory Church is a registered charity that aims to:
- Restore and maintain the church
- Care for the furnishings
- Enable it to be a place of inspiration
- Ensure it is a house of devotion
We do this by helping the parishioners with the substantial costs of maintaining this remarkable Grade I listed building.
