'''The Church of St Edmund''' is an interesting little church close to the [[River Trent]] in [[Holme Pierrepont]] in [[Nottinghamshire]]. It is a Grade I listed building.<ref name=nh>{{NHLE|1249315|Church of St Edmund|grade=I}}</ref>

The church is the parish church for Holm Pierrepoint, in the [[Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham]], but stands in the private estate of [[Holme Pierrepont Hall]], with which it has a longstanding association with the hall and the Pierrepoint family who owned the estate and from whom the village takes the suffix of its name.

It is a mediæval church, but it was largely re-built in 1666 by Henry Pierrepont, 1st Marquess of Dorchester. In 1878 Thomas Chambers Hine added the chancel.<ref>{{Pevsner}}</ref> Further restorations were carried out in 1912 and 1960 and the spire was restored around 1980.<ref name=nh/>

It is now part of the combined parish of All Hallow's Church, Lady Bay.
