The village

A well known family coming from Edingale would be the Green family which has lived in the village for generations. Edingale has its own football team called Edingale Swifts and they are well known to have enjoyed a lot of success in their local league through the 1980s. The Village also has its own pub called the Black Horse which many villagers refer to as their local. Edingale's most famous son must be Mr E J Holland (Jos Holland), a local farmer who bred shire horses and worked them on his farm into the 1970s. Many of the "shires" bred by Jos Holland earned awards of repute. Another famous Edingale family are the Duggins family of whom George Duggins was the main handler for Jos Holland.
