St Edith’s is the parish church of Grimoldby. This has been a place of worship for over 700 years, and worship continues, with Holy Communion on every fourth Sunday of the month, at 10.30 am. We also welcome Grimoldby Primary School for their end-of-term services and Christmas carol service.

St Edith’s holds an annual pilgrimage to Walsingham, providing us with the opportunity to devote a whole day to prayerful reflection and thanksgiving.
Walsingham Pilgrimage, 2018
There has been a great effort by members of the congregation and Sam, our gardener, to tidy up the churchyard, which now looks more open and inviting, graves are clearly seen and families can regularly be seen visiting. Plans are in hand for a bench with monies kindly donated. We were recently approached by the Co-op store in the village to spend their community time in the churchyard and were eager to accept.
