[4] In the 17th century the west wall of the nave was restored and altered to provide a small baptistry between two buttresses.

To celebrate the 2000 Millennium, a new stained glass window designed by the pupils of Shocklach Primary School was installed in the north wall of the nave.

[4] St Edith's is constructed in blocks of red sandstone with a grey slate roof.

Its plan is simple and consists of a nave with a small baptistry at the west end, and a chancel with a vestry to its north.

It has a round arch of three orders, the outer and inner ones being decorated with chevrons, the middle one with cables.

[2] The pews are dated 1697, the altar rails are from the late 18th century and the two sanctuary chairs are also early.

On the west wall of the nave are the royal arms of George III dated 1760 and a hatchment to the Purleston family.

On it is scratched "I, Robert Aldersey, was here on 1st day of October 1756 along with John Massie and Mr Derbyshire.

[5] Incorporated into the north wall at its west end is a carved stone, measuring about 12 inches (30 cm) square.

[2] A very different but possible explanation has been given by Dan Robinson, curator of the Grosvenor Museum, Chester.

The square base has four steps and on it rests an octagonal shaft which was replaced or recut in 1896.
