Encyclopedia > St. Edward the Martyr Orthodox Church

St. Edward the Martyr Orthodox Church is an Orthodox church in Brookwood, Surrey, England.


The Saint Edward Brotherhood was established at Brookwood in 1982 to prepare and care for the Church in which the relics of Saint Edward the Martyr were to be enshrined. A small monastic community chants the services of the Church daily at the Shrine, and their numbers are augmented on Sundays and feast days by a number of Orthodox who form a mission parish.


St. Edward's is under the authority of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. The Brotherhood and Parish Church bear witness to the spiritual heritage of the Russian Orthodox peoples, along with the many saints of Britain from the first ten centuries of the Christian era.

Edward's accession to the throne was contested by a party headed by his stepmother, Queen Elfrida, who wished her son, Ethelred the Unready, to become king instead.
On King Edward's accession to the throne a great famine was raging through the land and violent attacks were stirred up against monasteries by prominent noblemen who coveted the lands that his father King Edgar had endowed to them.
Edward was officially glorified by the All-English Council of 1008, presided over by St. Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury (who was later also martyred by the Danes in 1012).
