St Edmund, Kellington
Heritage Open Day: Beautiful church, Templar history, lots to see. Refreshments available. Kellington Church is dedicated to St. Edmund, King and Martyr, who was martyred by Danish invaders in 870.
The first indication of a church at Kellington is in 1185 when John de Kellington was appointed rector by the Knights Templar. The patronage of St. Edmund’s was in the hands of the Templars until they were disbanded in 1312 and the Kellington property passed to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John. It remained so until Henry VIII gave the advowson to the Master and Fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge, but it is now in the hands of the Diocesan Board of Patronage.
