Hiking

This church is named after Edward the Martyr, who was King of the English and was murdered on 18th March 978 by order of his stepmother, Queen Alfthryth. Edward was slain at the nearby Corfe Castle, the ruins of which are just a short walk from here. The church dates back to the 12th century, though it underwent major restoration in the mid 19th century.
