Description
The Church of St George is a Grade II* listed building located in Milson. It dates back to the 12th century, featuring a nave and chancel, with a tower added in the 13th century and restored in the mid-19th century. The church is constructed from stone rubble with ashlar dressings, topped with plain-tile roofs and an ashlar-coped east gable, while the tower has a slate roof.
The church's plan includes a chancel, nave with a south porch, and a west tower. The exterior of the chancel showcases a 19th-century east window with three stepped lancets and a quatrefoil within a circle, alongside 12th-century round-headed lancets on the north and south walls. The chancel is supported by 19th-century diagonal ashlar buttresses with offsets.
The nave's north wall features a tall cusped lancet to the left, two 12th-century round-headed lancets, and a north door with a stepped stone lintel to the right. The south wall has a tall cusped lancet to the right, a 12th-century flat-headed slit window in the center, and a doorway to the left with a round arch of two orders, plain abaci, a hoodmould, single shafts with plain bases, a large waterleaf capital to the west, and a scalloped capital to the east. The old cross-boarded door is complemented by 19th-century stepped buttresses at each end of the wall. The south porch features a tiled gabled roof with an opening and a 14th-century arch-braced truss with a jowled post, a cambered tie beam, and a framed arcade set on a high stone plinth.
The tower has a tall round-headed lancet on the west side and a shingled upper stage with louvred bell-openings on each face, topped by a pyramid slate roof.
Inside, the chancel has a 19th-century two-bay single-purlin roof with two arched hammerbeam trusses and a large high square-headed chancel opening. The nave features a three-bay twin trenched-purlin roof with chamfered purlins, old rafters, and later applied windbraces, with rafters inset with old panels. There are four twin raking-strut trusses with cambered tie beams, incorporating arched braces and wall posts on corbels. The tie beam has a double chamfered soffit, and the pointed tower arch consists of two orders on single-chamfered imposts. A 16th-century two-tiered pulpit with carved square ornamental panels adds to the interior's historical significance.
