St Edward's Church, Sanday

Local name
LocationSanday, Inner Hebrides, UK

St Edward's Church, Sanday, is a deconsecrated, and now disused church on the small isle of Sanday, Inner Hebrides, Scotland.

The church was a gift to the people of Canna and Sanday from Gwendolyn Fitzalan-Howard, the 3rd Marchioness of Bute, who had it erected as a memorial to her father, Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Glossop, who had died in 1883. At the time, the islands were owned by the Thom family, though permission was willingly given by them, despite the fact that they were not Catholics, and would later build the Protestant St Columba's Church on Canna in 1912. Designed by William Frame, who was architect to the Butes, St Edward's was built between 1886 and 1890.
