Edington is a small village on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire.
The 14th-century Priory Church was once a monastery for the Augustinian Order of Bonshommes. In 1332, William of Edington, Bishop of Winchester, founded a college for priests in the village.
In the 15th century, William Ayscough, Bishop of Salisbury and confessor to Henry VI, was forced to flee Salisbury because of a rebellion that happened during that time. He fled to Edington and took refuge at the church but was later discovered. On 29 June 1450 he was taken from the High Altar during Mass and murdered in the fields outside the church.
