Differing approaches to salvation
Edington chapel now has the modern surgery for company. The banner saying 'Try Praying' is perhaps a little inadvertent next to the clinic.
Church-goers in Catcott were holding services under tents but a Gospel Hall was built in 1904. It served until the surgery and new village hall were built here in 1979. As worshippers dwindled, the hall changed to Edington Chapel to embrace the variety of creeds now involved. The chapel was renovated in the 2000s to offer modern facilities for the village.

The Village Hall Edington
Edington and neighbouring Catcott used to have a wooden hall, run by the Women's Institute and situated on upper Holywell Road. It was becoming cramped and so plans were drawn up to build a new hall and surgery here in 1979. It has had extensions since opening and now offers its services to all the Polden villages.
