Church of St Editha, Medieval parish church in Tamworth, England
St Editha Church features medieval stained glass fragments, multiple stone arches, and a prominent tower that stands above the Tamworth townscape.
The current structure, completed in 1369, replaced three previous churches on the same site, with the first one being destroyed by Danish forces in 874.
The church maintains a musical tradition through regular choir performances, organ recitals, and community concerts that occur throughout the year.
Located at St Editha's Close in Tamworth, the church opens daily for visitors and holds regular Sunday services at 10:30 AM and 6:00 PM.
The church tower contains an exceptional double spiral staircase, a rare architectural feature found in only a few buildings across Europe.
