The Friends of St Eadburgha's

CARING FOR OUR 12th CENTURY CHURCH

St Eadburgha's Church is the only Grade 1 Listed building in the village of Broadway, on the outskirts of the village on Snowshill Road.

Nestled in the beautiful north Cotswolds landscape, its unique charm and serenity is enjoyed by villagers as well as visitors from all over the world.

Open daily from 10am-4pm for all to enjoy for quiet reflection or simply to admire it’s architectural beauty, regular services are held from Easter through to Harvest.

It is a popular wedding, baptism and funeral venue for the community. It is also available for hire for community events and concerts.

The Tower dates from the 14th century and the current bells date from the 17th century. It is said that a former peal of bells, which was removed and buried by monks from Pershore Abbey during the Dissolution, owed their sweet tone to the silver that was added to the melt during manufacture.

The building and churchyard are the responsibility of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) based at St Michael and All Angels, which was built in 1840. Since then, St Eadburgha's fell into disrepair until, in 1916, substantial repair work was carried out, including a new roof.

As with any historic building, there is a long list of regular maintenance and repair work required, mostly specified by the architect in his five-yearly Quinquennial Inspection of the church building.
