Church Of St George

The Church of St George is an Anglican parish church, now redundant, dating back to the 13th century, with a late 15th-century chancel, a 12th-century north doorway, and restoration work carried out in 1833 and 1858. The church is constructed of flint and limestone, with an ashlar tower, and has a tiled roof with coped verges. It comprises a west tower, a nave, a chancel, and a north porch.

The 19th-century gabled north porch features a Welsh slate roof, a Tudor-arched door, a cusped lancet window above the door, and Tudor-arched windows on the side walls. To the left of the porch, the nave has a cross window with a pointed head; to the right of the porch is a two-light window from the 16th century with cusped lights. The roof of the nave was likely raised in 1833 and incorporates a dentilled brick eaves cornice. The chancel has a chamfered pointed door in the centre of the north side, a Tudor-arched window to its left, and a 13th-century cusped lancet to its right. A string course runs at eaves level, and the roof has a shallow pitch with a battlemented parapet. The east window is a three-light window in a 16th-century style, with cusped lights. On the south side of the chancel are a Tudor-arched light and a 13th-century cusped lancet. The south side of the nave features a three-light window and a two-light window, both in a 16th-century style, with hoodmoulds.

The two-stage west tower is square with diagonal buttresses. It has a Tudor-arched west door with hollow-chamfered jambs and carved spandrels. Above the door is a deeply recessed two-light Perpendicular window with 19th-century tracery, a hoodmould, and grotesque beasts carved as terminals. A string course runs to the bell stage; each face of the tower has a 16th-century window. The tower is topped with a battlemented parapet and a pyramidal tiled roof.

The interior includes a Romanesque inner doorway with shafts and scalloped capitals. The nave has a flat ceiling, likely inserted in the 18th century. The chancel arch is double-chamfered with hollow-chamfering. A pointed arch to the tower at the west end has fine cusped panelling to the intrados. Most of the fittings date from 1858, following a restoration by T.H. Wyatt, including the pews, pulpit, and altar screen. A 15th-century style font was added in 1833. The south wall of the nave displays Royal Arms from 1636, and the south wall of the chancel has an 1830 hatchment, likely belonging to Rev. C.B.P. Lowther, alongside a marble memorial to him by Reeves of Bath. 17th and 18th century memorials include a brass in the nave to John Elderton, who died in 1695. Several classical tablets are also present, including a marble tablet to John Shittler, who died in 1861, signed by Lewis of Cheltenham, and a large Gothic wall memorial on the south side of the nave to Stephen Mills, who died in 1857, signed by Osmond of Sarum. The church also contains good examples of late 19th-century stained and painted glass, such as the east window of 1888 and others in the nave and chancel, by Jones and Willis.
