The village of Edgton contains 3 farms and approximately 20 dwellings. Before the church was renovated it had fallen into a state of disrepair. Reverend Jones spent £250 of his own money on the repairs and £50 was contributed from the Ecclesiastical Commission. It is a small and intimate church, containing traditional carved box pews and a recently renovated chamber organ. Instead of a parish council it has a parish meeting; this is due to the very small population of the parish. Edgton is believed to mean a "settlement on a hill with an edge or brow".
