St Edith's, Coates

The hidden beauty of St Edith's has stayed unchanged - a Reformation church

St Edith's, Coates-by-Stow is a tiny church, probably of Saxon origin. It has many special features, a Norman doorway and font, a stunning rood screen and majestic tower arch.

Almost every century has made a distinctive contribution to the structure, a testimony to the many people whose spiritual home it has been. Amazingly, it escaped the ravages of the Reformation as it was, and still is, hidden by treesm on a moated site.

However, although the church is an architectural gem, it is its peace and serenity, an oasis in the middle of a very busy commercial farm, whihc is especially appreciated by many visitors.

It is a living place of worship, with a Service at 8.30am on the Second Sunday of every month, as well as Group Services and Celebrations at Christmas, Easter, Rogation and Harvest-time.  

It is available for weddings (small), christenings, funerals and special visits, by arrangement.

A warm welcome is extended to all visitors.
