St Peter and St Paul Church Edgefield

Until the 14th century, the village stood round the old 12th century church, between the present site and Hunworth. After the Black Death the village was re-established in two locations: Edgefield Green and Edgefield (Ramsgate) Street. For hundreds of years, the old church stood isolated from the village and suffered from neglect. However, in 1876, Walter Marcon, son of the previous rector, and born in the Rectory (in which he later died – in the same room) was appointed Rector, and became a much-loved and respected figure.
