St Edward's Church

ST. EDWARD'S CHURCH, in the middle of the town, dates from a very early period.

The tower appears to have been erected towards the end of the twelfth century, and bears evidence of this in rude pointed arches, which have been partly bricked up, in the interior. The nave is said to have been built about 1350, and has remarkably elegant Decorated arches.

Latimer used to preach in this church. The stained glass in the central east window was placed as a testimonial to Dr. Harvey Goodwin, a former Bishop of Carlisle, who was the Incumbent of the Parish for some years.
