Church Of St George

The Church of St George is a Grade II listed church built between 1858 and 1859 by architect Crowther, with the south steeple added in 1884-1885 by Medland and Henry Taylor. It is designed in a late 13th-century style and constructed from coursed rubble with a steeply-pitched slate roof. The church features a nave with two aisles, a chancel, and a south porch that includes a steeple in the southeast corner. The aisle consists of five bays with simple two-light cusped windows, while the clerestory has six bays with alternating circular and two-light cusped windows. The building is supported by buttresses with offsets and gable crosses. The west end of the nave is adorned with two very slim cusped lancets and a sexfoil rose window above. The east window is geometrical with four lights. The heavily buttressed tower includes an octagonal stair turret with three stages and twin-louvred bell openings, topped by a broached octagonal spire featuring lucarnes. The south porch has a chamfered pointed arch of a single order, with an inner arch that is savagely cusped.

Inside, the nave has three bays with arcades supported by octagonal piers. The chancel arch is set on corbelled colonettes, and there are stone sedilia and piscinae. The nave and chancel both have wagon roofs. The east window in the north arcade features stained glass by J Aldam Heaton, which is now worn and blurred, along with some other early Victorian glass.
