Church of St Edmund, Gothic parish church in Mansfield Woodhouse, England.
Church of St Edmund is a Gothic parish church in Mansfield Woodhouse with a distinctive octagonal broach spire. The tower features bell openings and clock faces on its south and east sides, making it visible from different parts of the town.
A devastating fire in 1304 destroyed much of Mansfield Woodhouse, prompting rebuilding efforts that started in 1306. Local limestone was used for the reconstruction of this parish church.
The interior displays many wall monuments honoring local figures such as Sir John and Lady Lucy Digby. These memorials reflect the connection between the community and the families who shaped the area over centuries.
The building sits within a churchyard surrounded by mature trees and stone walls, creating a peaceful setting for walking around the grounds. Visitors can explore the exterior and nearby gravestones at any time without restrictions.
The churchyard holds three Grade II listed gravestones and a sarcophagus that many visitors overlook while walking through the grounds. These stone pieces offer glimpses into how burials and memorials were crafted in earlier centuries.
