St Edwards Parish church is situated at Church Hill, Eggbuckland, Plymouth.
A Saxon church is believed to have been on this site but there was certainly a church here when Pope Nicholas IV completed his survey in 1291.
The present church is a stone building that dates from around 1420/30. The parish registers date from 1653.
The church is of perpindicular style & consists of a chancel, nave, aisles, South porch & a tower with six bells. The original bell was cast in 1422 & inscrbed "Voce mea viva depello cunta nocciva" ('With my living voice I drive away all harmful things').
The church was enlarged in 1864 when the North aisle & chancel were added. In 1901 a clock was installed in memory of a former vicar of 40 years, Reverend Charles Edgar Turner.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1420
