Edenfield Places Overview: History, Culture & Facts about Edenfield

Edenfield history

---

The origins of the Edenfield place name are not entirely clear, but it seems extremely unlikely that it derives from “fields of Eden” or similar. Edenfield Chapel of Ease (the precursor of the parish church and part of the benefice of Bury) is extensively mentioned in 16th-century documents.

Edenfield landmarks

The parish church is unusual in that it takes its name from the village rather than being dedicated to a particular saint. Despite some 19th century additions it was famously described in John Betjeman’s book as “unspoiled, unspruced Georgian”
