Church of St Edward King and Martyr
St Edward King and Martyr is located on Peas Hill. It is dedicated to Edward the Martyr, King of England from 975 until his murder in 978. It was at St Edward's in 1525 that what is said to have been the first sermon of the English Reformation took place, and the church is sometimes labelled the "Cradle of the Reformation".
The present church was founded in the thirteenth century on what is believed to be the site of an earlier Anglo-Saxon church. In around 1400 the church was rebuilt, creating the present chancel and arches of the nave, though the arch at the base of the tower dates from the original building.
Grade II* listed. Link
