NZ0149 : St Edmund's Church, EdmondbyersNZ0149 : St Edmund Church, Edmundbyers The village of Edmundbyers is reputed to have had connections with witchcraft in the 17-18th century. Out of shot in these pictures (on the west wall of the church) is an 'eye' window to ward off the ghosts of those witches, and a headstone to the last of them who died in 1792.
