The churchyard of the church of St Mary, St Katherine and All Saints has a large number of important monuments that are listed. The churchyard is somewhat greener than my image in 2017 Image Edington is a former agricultural village which lies on the ‘springline’ of the northern escarpment of Salisbury Plain about 4 miles east of the town of Westbury. A priory was founded in the 14th century and became a monastery of the Brothers of Penitence, or Bonshommes. The magnificent monastery church continues in use as the parish church and is the home of the nationally-known annual Edington Music Festival.
