Edlesborough is also next to the village of Eaton Bray just over the county boundary in Bedfordshire, about 3 miles (5 km) west-south-west of Dunstable.

[2] As well as the village of Edlesborough itself, the civil parish also includes the hamlets of Dagnall, Northall and part of Ringshall.

[9][11] The church underwent two major restorations overseen by the architect Robert Jewell Withers in 1867 and 1875.

In the first restoration, box pews were replaced with pine benches, a gallery was removed from the west, the rood screen was painted, and a large wall painting was added to the nave wall by the Arts and Crafts artist Daniel Bell, depicting Christ enthroned in Majesty.

[9][12] A more modern addition is a two-light stained glass window on the theme of the Nativity by M. E. Aldrich Rope, also in an Arts and Crafts style.

For decades it was the site of a Classic trials motor sport event known as the March Hare in which a variety of vehicles tried to climb the hill's steep ascent as a test of their capabilities.

At first, it was a traditional Church fete, hosted in the Vicarage garden, before being moved to Park Farm in Eaton Bray in 1965.

- While the aforementioned pub "The Bell" was still running, some witnesses claim that after hours, the ghost of a girl with a besom broom could be seen sweeping leaves from the floor by the fireplace.

[23] - Pine Road in the village is said to be the most haunted in the local area, with a ghost known as "The Mulk" said to make regular appearances on nights with a full moon.

Residents have reported seeing a tall, ghostly figure accompanied by a brown and white dog running up and down the road.

The village green has two football pitches, one enclosed tennis court and a cricket square.

There is a small playing area for children in the green, as well as another in The Grange, which is a residential development further out in the village.
