St Edmund or St James is the only church in the country with 'or' in its title.
Dr John Donne was its Rector at the same time as being Dean of St Paul's in London. A memorial window in the south aisle commemorates this. This medieval church has many memorials and a fine 19th century organ. Norman architecture is evident in the west end.
