Prior to the post at Rugby, Edwards was organist to the Duke of Buccleuch in Dalkeith, Scotland.
[2] But Edwards, who was Editor of the Rugby School Hymn Book, also published music for the organ including a March in G (1881),[3] a one-movement Sonata in E minor (Sonata da Chiesa), which appeared in The Organist's Quarterly Journal Part 62, in 1884.,[4] and an Introduction and Fugue in C, first appearing in The Organist's Quarterly Journal, Part 99, in 1893, being re-issued in 1898, under the title Prelude and Fugue, in The Anglican Organist, Vol 15.
[6] A photograph of Edwin Edwards appears in Windows on Warwickshire.
After twenty two years at the school, it states, he "remained still a highly respected resident in the town.
"[8] He is listed elsewhere as having conducted the choir of Rugby School in 1867–86, just short of two decades.
