Dist:0.2km<br/>The churchyard contains many good examples of altar tombs and head-stones of the 18th and 19th century, some showing clear traces of how the lettering and decoration was formerly picked out in black paint, and some with elegant iron railings round them.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Against the south wall of the transept is a monument which is an outstanding feature of the Church and of national importance. It is an altar tomb with a recumbent effigy, from his tonsure apparently of a monk, his head resting on a cushion and his feet on a barrel.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Priory Church of Saint Mary, Saint Katharine and All Saints is an architecturally outstanding building, built in the Decorated style and consecrated in 1361. It is a large building for such a village, but it is well maintained and increasingly sought after as a concert venue.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The parish of Edington straddles the steep northern escarpment of Salisbury Plain. Apart from some very minor indications of an earlier Norman church found during restoration, the church dates from around 1350 and was consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury in 1361. The church is a fine example of the transition from the Decorated to the Perpendicular style.

Dist:0.2km<br/>For once Pevsner's words ( a wonderful church and a highly important church ) hardly do justice to this stupendous building. A church crawler's dream, both inside and out.

Dist:0.2km<br/>St George and the Dragon depicted on a banner within the Church. Although St George is the patron saint of England very little is known about him. The story of St George and the Dragon is thought be an allegory for good against evil and has no basis in fact.
