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.
Current worship at the parish church provides a sung Parish Communion from Common Worship on 1st, 2nd (when ‘traditional’ language is used), and 3rd Sundays, for a congregation normally approaching about sixty people; BCP Evensong on 2nd and 4th Sundays; an 8 a.m. BCP Holy Communion on 4th Sundays; and an all- age Service (eucharistic once a quarter) on 4th Sundays. There is an active and dependable Church choir of up to twenty members, led by the organist and her assistant. The tower has a peal of ten bells. Additionally, the Tinhead Methodist congregation organise their own Services within the Priory Church on second and fourth Sundays in the month.
The Edington Festival of Music within the Liturgy takes place during one week in August, when there are four Services daily supported by three choirs comprising individuals selected from some of the Cathedral and Collegiate choirs of the British Isles. Wednesday’s Evensong is broadcast on BBC Radio 3. The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Festival took place in 2005.
