A Hidden English Gem

Edington’s majestic Priory church towers over this enchanting little village, tucked beneath the escarpment on the edge of Salisbury Plain. Built in the 14th century by former Bishop of Winchester William of Edington, the Grade I listed building is now Wiltshire’s only perfect monastic church. Since 1956, supporters from far and wide have been helping local people to restore, maintain and improve this remarkable building.

CHURCH HISTORY

Season of mists

With the most wonderful Edington Festival behind us and the autumn to look forward to, we are aware of the tractors in the lanes, bringing in the harvest and the country around us changing hue.

If you are interested in the Festival, there is a new article on the News page.

If you are passing, we hope that you will take the opportunity to sample the warmth of the welcome at our lovely Priory Church.

Please visit our What’s On page for up to date information about things happening in the church.

Don’t forget that the church is always open for visitors, whether you want to see our smart new lights, enjoy the peace and quiet, or simply to look around.
