Church Of St George

The Church of St George is a former parish church that is now redundant. It dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, although it has earlier origins. The building is constructed from a mixture of cobblestones, ironstone, and limestone, with ashlar dressing. The east wall and other repairs are made of red brick, and some parts are rendered. The church features slate roofs and consists of a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, north and south porches, and a west tower.

The chancel was rebuilt in the 14th century and shortened in the 19th century. It has a three-light east window from the 19th century designed in a 15th-century style, along with 15th-century three-light, four-centred north and south windows. There is a blocked 14th-century pointed-arched south doorway and a pointed chancel arch. The nave has origins from the 13th century and features 14th-century pointed-arched two-bay arcades on the northeast and southeast sides. To the west of the porches on both the north and south sides are 15th-century three-light, four-centred windows. The clerestory from the 15th century has three two-light square-headed windows on each side. Both the north and south doorways are from the 14th century.

The north aisle, dating from the 14th century, has a pointed two-light east window and 15th-century two-light north windows with square heads. The south aisle also has a 14th-century pointed two-light east window with flowing tracery, a 15th-century three-light window, and a small single light on the south elevation. Both the north and south porches are from the 15th century and are designed in a similar style, featuring shallow gables and pointed archways under square heads. The south porch retains a two-light west window, while the north porch's window is blocked.

The west tower, dating from the 14th century, has two stages with angle buttresses. Each side of the bell stage features a two-light pointed-arched window, and there is a single-light window on the west ground stage. Both the tower and nave have embattled parapets.

Inside, there is a 15th-century octagonal font with carved panels, and a late 12th-century pillar piscina that has been reset in the north aisle. Also in the north aisle is a fragment of a 14th-century wall painting depicting a king with a sceptre and another man, both facing east. Fragments of medieval glass can be found in the south window of the chancel and the south window of the clerestory. The chancel retains 15th-century pews with carved poppyheads and finials depicting a lion and a bear. The roofs are from the 19th century, and there is a rood staircase in the northeast angle of the nave.
