Church of St Edmund, Medieval church in Sedgefield, England.

The Church of St Edmund stands as a stone religious building with transepts, a chancel from 1290, and a tower added around 1490.

The original wooden structure, established between 900 and 915 by Cutheard of Lindisfarne, was later replaced with the current stone edifice between 1246 and 1256.

The church maintains its role as a central religious institution in the Diocese of Durham, following the Central tradition of the Church of England.

Located at Cross Hill in Sedgefield, the church welcomes visitors and holds regular services while offering facilities for weddings, baptisms, and community events.

The dedication of this Grade I listed building honors Edmund of Abingdon, an Archbishop of Canterbury who died in 1240 before the church construction.
