Newly Conserved Wall Painting 2024.
St Edmund’s, in common with many other churches in the country, was extensively reordered in the Nineteenth Century and it was thought that any historic painting had been lost during this process. However, the collapse of some plaster from the south wall of the nave in 2012 revealed a small fragment of wall painting. This painting and some text revealed sometime later were conserved by wall painting conservators Stephen Rickerby & Lisa Shekede during April 2024.
Follow this link for more details and the full conservators’ report.
St Edmund’s Christmas Tree Festival
is an annual event starting during November and continuing until the Sunday before Christmas Day. Local organisations, shops and businesses decorate individual Christmas trees to create a wonderful display. In 2017, it featured on the BBC’s ‘CountryFile’ programme. Exact open days and times vary each year and the current details can be found by visiting What’s On.
