South Cerney Church and Edwards College
The South Cerney church contains a beautiful carved wooden head and foot of Christ, taken from a crucifix in Compostela, dating from the 12th Century.
At the end of Silver Street in South Cerney is Edwards College, founded by Ann Edwards in 1834 (the primary school in South Cerney is called Ann Edwards School) to house the widows of clergymen. And in nearby Station Road, an attractive row of gabled cottages dates from the 16th and 17th Centuries. The remains of the some of the old railway line can also be found in this area of the village.
