Edlington Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Helen. Originating in the 12th century, it was rebuilt in 1859 by James Fowler, but retained its Norman tower arch and Early English font.
A further listed building is the late 16th-century Hall Farm House.
Next to the Church—in the grounds of Edlington Manor—archaeologists found evidence of a small Roman camp where they found pots of oxen bones, most likely used for ceremonial purposes.
