Parish Church Of St George

The Parish Church of St George is a parish church located in Clyst St George. The west tower dates from the early to mid-15th century, while the main body of the church was almost entirely rebuilt by Reverend H T Ellacombe between 1854 and 1855. This structure was later damaged by an incendiary bomb in 1940, and the post-war rebuilding, which did not replicate Ellacombe's design, was completed in 1952. The church is constructed of coursed rubble Heavitree stone and features a slate roof.

The layout includes a west tower, nave, north aisle, south porch, chancel, and a south-east vestry. The west tower has two stages and renewed battlementing, with a polygonal stair turret on the south-east side that rises above the battlements. It has set-back buttresses on the north and south sides, with three set-offs. Each side of the tower features two-light pointed belfry openings, a single-light square-headed window in the ringing chamber on the south side, and a renewed three-light window on the west. The west doorway is adorned with 15th-century composite moulded surrounds and bases. The tower's slim profile is typical of many churches in the Exeter area.

The north and south sides of the church have two and three-light square-headed windows, while the south porch is decorated with wavy, cusped bargeboarding. The vestry has a catslide roof. Inside, the tower arch features panelled responds and soffit. Two notable mural monuments survived the bombing: one is a brass memorial to Julian Osborne, who died in 1614, depicting a kneeling woman at a prayer desk with a shield above; the other is a monument erected by George Gibbs in 1708, which has a 17th-century style, featuring an inscription panel with putti flanked by Corinthian columns that support a scrolled pediment with a heraldic device.
