The Patron Saint is St Edward, King and Martyr, who was a descendant of King Alfred.
Parts of St Edward's church date from the late 12th century (parts of the walls of the nave and chancel, particularly the corners, the arch into the chancel and a lancet window in the north wall). The south aisle and the tower were added in the 14th century. The carved pulpit is 15th century.
The oak table and cross in the south aisle were crafted by Waywood of Chadlington; the table was dedicated in 2007 and the cross in 2008.
