Description
The Parish Church of St George is a Grade II* listed building located on Hanham Abbots Court Farm Road in Hanham Green. It dates back to the 14th century, with earlier fragments and a 15th-century west tower that is attached to Hanham Court. The church was restored in 1854 by Pope, Poindon, and Clarke, and underwent extensive restoration in 1909 by Bligh Bond. It is constructed of Pennant stone rubble with freestone dressings and features a tile roof with bands of fishscale tiles.
The church consists of a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, a south aisle, a north porch, and a west tower with three stages, a pierced parapet, pinnacles, and corner gargoyles. The bell-chamber windows are in the Perpendicular style, featuring two lights with foiled heads. Most of the nave, chancel, and aisle windows have been restored in the Perpendicular style. The porch includes a 14th-century arch, an original roof, and 14th-century enrichments to the doorway, including a crocketted arch with finials and a niche.
Inside, notable features include a Norman font and a well-preserved 13th-century pillar piscina, both believed to have originated from Keynsham Abbey. The aisle has a plastered waggon roof, and the east end may have served as a Lady Chapel.
