Description

The Church of St George is a parish church built between 1859 and 1860 by S.W. Daukes of Gloucester, designed in a 13th-century style. It features a nave, a south porch, a tower, and a chancel. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with freestone dressings and has a steeply pitched Cotswold stone slate roof with coped raised verges. The nave consists of four bays with plate tracery, cusped heads to the lights, and quatrefoils above. The chancel has a single bay with a single cusped light and a three-light east window. The south porch tower is square at the base and has diagonal buttresses, a moulded pointed arch with label stops, and a single cusped light above. The tower features an octagonal bell chamber on an ashlar base with two-light trefoil-headed windows and a lead spire. To the right, there is a 20th-century single-storey vestry. Inside, the church has four arch-braced collar beam trusses on corbels, a finely carved roof screen from 1915, and a moulded chancel arch. There is also a monument to Sir G.S. Jenkinson, who died in 1892, which is an alabaster Gothic tablet with a crocketed gable and angels.
