Description
The Church of St George is a Grade II listed building constructed in 1879, with a porch and tower added in 1887, designed by A.H. Davies-Colley. It is built from rock-faced stone and features a slate roof. The church has a nave, clerestory, aisles, chancel, and a north-east tower. The five-bay nave and aisles are characterized by a projecting plinth, weathered buttresses, two-light aisle windows, triangular-headed three-light clerestory windows, and coped gables with kneelers and finials. The three-stage castellated tower includes a corner stair turret, set back weathered and gableted buttresses, a north door with lancet windows above, clock faces on the second stage, and two two-light belfry openings with triangular pilasters and corner pinnacles.
Inside, there is a west gallery and chamfered arch nave arcades supported by circular columns with moulded bases and capitals. The roof features tie-beam trusses. The upper reredos is intricately carved and set in enriched recesses. The church contains timber fittings and stained glass, some of which was created by F. Commere and J. Capronnier.
