St Edmund's Church

Wootton Bridge, United Kingdom

St Edmund's Church was built in the 13th century. The churchyard contains the Commonwealth war grave of a Hampshire Regiment soldier of World War I.

Built in 1087, lovely little church. We stopped for refreshments and had a truly great cup of tea and a biskwit.

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
