Description
The Church of St George is a parish church, now no longer in use, dating from around 1640, with early 18th century and late 19th century alterations. It is constructed of red brick and features plain tiled roofs, including a tile-coped west gable and a bell turret gable, along with wooden eaves. The structure includes a west bell turret, a nave, and a rectangular chancel. The 17th century nave has a high plinth and a west door with a pointed, moulded head and a plank door. Above this door is a rectangular window with a blocked inner pointed opening and a narrow band above it. The bell turret has a single round-headed opening, with its upper parts and gable dating from the late 19th century.
On the north side of the nave, there is a small high-set opening to the west with a segmental head and a brick air-vent, likely intended to light the interior stairs to the west gallery. The large east window has a segmental head, a rectangular moulded surround, and a rectangular moulded hood mould. The early 18th century chancel features a high plinth and a large pointed window on the north side. The east end has a flat band that rises above a blind oval window, and there is a late 19th century buttress at the center of the east front. The south side of the chancel has a large pointed window, while the south side of the nave includes a large 18th century window with a segmental head, rectangular moulded surround, and rectangular moulded hood mould.
To the left of the south side, there is a blocked brick arch from a 17th century doorway, with a small high opening to the west featuring a segmental head and a brick air-vent. The interior has been stripped of its contents, retaining only sparse fragments of panelling and a west gallery. There is a moulded stone plinth for the altar, a niche with a pointed head in the north wall of the nave, and a niche with a segmental head in the south wall of the nave. The nave floor contains two 17th century gravestones, and the roof features tie beams from the 17th and 18th centuries.
