St John the Baptist, Edlingham, Medieval parish church in Edlingham, England.
The stone church features Norman architectural elements, including a tunnel-vaulted south porch and circular columns with scalloped capitals decorated with nail-head patterns.
The original structure dates back to 740 AD as a wooden building, later replaced by a stone church around 1050, with the current tower added in the 14th century.
The church contains the tomb of Sir William de Felton, the builder of nearby Edlingham Castle, with his coat of arms displayed above a wall recess.
Visitors can park their vehicles on the grass verge leading to the church gates and combine their visit with an exploration of Edlingham Castle.
The defensive tower includes narrow slit windows that served as vantage points for archers during conflicts between England and Scotland.
