St. Edmund's Church, Wootton is a parish church in the Church of England located in Wootton, Isle of Wight.
History
The church is medieval in origin.[1]
It is now in the same parish as St. Mark's Church, Wootton, although the medieval parish only included a small part of what is now the larger settlement of Wootton Bridge. There was a detached portion of the parish at Chillerton.
The churchyard contains the Commonwealth war grave of a Hampshire Regiment soldier of World War I.[2]
Organ
The pipe organ dates from 1869 and was originally installed in St. Andrew's Church, Norton Green. It was moved here in the early 1980s when that church became redundant. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
