St. Edward's Church, in Alfred Street, was said to have been given to St. Frideswide's priory in 1122, (fn. 327) but the priory's possession of it was disputed between 1148 and 1154. In 1298 the parish was united with the neighbouring one of St. Frideswide's, St. Edward's becoming the church of the united parish. Despite its value increasing after the union with St. Frideswide's, it did not have sufficient funds to support a vicar, and the church was closed by 1428 and probably by 1388.
