Description
The Church of St George is a Grade II listed building constructed from snecked squared Trefor granite, with limestone and courses of red and blue bricks used as flush hood bands over the windows. It features a blue slate roof that is patterned with green slates and topped with trefoiled blue ridge tiles, along with coped gables. The church includes a nave, a west porch, and a short three-sided apsidal chancel, along with a slender southeast tower. There is a vestry positioned at right angles on the north side. The nave is adorned with five lancet windows, all featuring wide external splays, a corbelled outstepping eaves course, and patterned leaded glazing. The tower has a rectangular plan, with square buttresses that rise to a corbel table at the base of the bell stage, and it includes lancet openings with brick surrounds and a crenellated parapet.
Inside, the wide nave boasts an open roof with five bays defined by double collar trusses, which support three trefoiled infill panels and king posts. The walls are plastered and feature painted stone supporting wall corbels, along with a boarded dado. Four steps lead up to the presbytery beneath a stone chancel arch. The chancel consists of two bays with an apsidal end, all laid with quarry tiles, and it also has a similar open roof. There are open aumbrey recesses on each side, and the chancel windows contain 19th-century glass, with a high-set west window.
Fittings in the church include an altar table on stone legs, a 19th-century arcaded communion rail, an octagonal pine pulpit accessed from the chancel, and a polished granite font dated 1901, featuring a circular bowl with a rounded lip set on a stem and base. There are two banks of pine pews.
Monuments within the church include brasses dedicated to the Farren family, who were benefactors of the church, and a black marble tablet commemorating Tommy Owen, who died in 1971.
