Unique Churches: St. Edward's, The Cotswolds, UK



St. Edward's was originally built in the 11th century, but reflects the complicated Christian history of England in its evolving design and appearance.  It was added to in the 15th century and renovated in the 17th and again in the 19th centuries.  It is known for its north entrance, which is flanked by two ancient yew trees that have found themselves merging with the building itself, a nice evocation of how the natural and the human-made are united for greater purpose by God.
