Church of St Edward King and Martyr, Goathurst, 14th-century Anglican church in Goathurst, England
The stone church features architectural elements including a tower, monuments dedicated to the Kemeys-Tynte family, and an interior displaying historical religious artifacts.
Construction of the church began in 1301, marking the establishment of a religious center within the former Royal Forest of North Petherton region.
The church dedication to Edward the Martyr, a young Saxon king murdered in 978, represents an uncommon choice among English religious buildings.
The church opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM and holds regular services, including Wednesday morning Celtic Prayer sessions for local worshippers.
Inside the church, a 19th-century monument depicts three-year-old Isabella Kemeys lying on a pillow while holding a broken flower.
