St Edith of Polesworth

The church was much larger until 1763 when the north aisle was demolished. The spire is oddly truncated, the result of it being thought to have been in a dangerous condition in 1950 and reduced in height.

Inside, the church is charming and unspoiled, with furnishing, fittings and memorials dating back to the 13th century. The box pews and pulpit are from the 18th century, as is the eccentric stone font, inscribed 'SS Perkins Esq'; Samuel Steel-Perkins lived at Orton Hall, where he died in 1808. On the brick floor next to the font is an intriguing gravestone with a cross carved on one end and a man on horseback on the other. It has been restored, but may date back to the 13th century.

There is a small mausoleum in the north wall of the church, containing the effigy of a 14th century Cistercian monk.
