St Edmund

Welcome to St Edmund's Church. We share a regular pattern of monthly services with our other benefice churches; St Edmund's, Castleton and St Peter's, Hope. Details can be found on the Services and Events page.

St Edmund's is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm (or dusk when earlier). 

Visitors are always welcome at St Edmund's. Explore the history. Sit in the old box pews and enjoy the peace of this special place. Or take a few moments for prayer and reflection. Or simply shelter from the rain!

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome in St Edmund's.

St Edmund's is also on the Hope Pilgrimage route. You can find out more about this Pilgrimage route, an extension of the older Peak Pilgrimage, in church, or on their website here.
