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.

With Hallowe’en, Bonfire night and the Remembrance Season now behind us, autumn colour is well advanced. The leaves are nearly all blown from the trees by the recent storms, and our thoughts turn towards the end of the year.

Edington Arts’ annual Advent Concert will take place on Saturday, 16 December.   More details are on our What’s On page via the link below.

And don’t forget to pop into the church – it is always open for visitors – to see our smart new lights and to just enjoy the peace and quiet within.
