Church of St George

The Church of St George is a Perpendicular Gothic style church built using local limestone, with a pebbledashed upper portion above a low plinth and slate roofs. The nave and chancel are raised on a platform, with service areas located underneath on the north side. A south transept includes a family pew, and towards the west end is a south porch, distinguished by a curiously raised gabled bellcote at its front. A wide, moulded arch with a label leads into a spacious porch. The church features square-headed windows with cinquefoil tracery and labels, including a similar window at the east end.

The church is a single-cell structure with plastered walls and a panelled vault, supported by two king-post trusses with brattished ties. The interior includes an oak reredos and communion rail, and a five-bay oak chancel screen. It also features a part octagonal lectern and pulpit, an octagonal limestone font, and the south transept contains the organ. A timber canopy covers the Hughes family pew at the rear of the church, with upholstered seating extending across the width of the building.

A stained-glass window at the east end commemorates H R Hughes and Lady Florentia, a gift from their grandchildren in 1919. Numerous monuments are present, including a polygonal slate tablet to Sarah Atkinson (died 1714), a marble panel to Jane Davies (died 1725) and William Davies (died 1726), a gabled white marble tablet by W Spence to Rev John Jones (died 1854), a white marble tablet on a slate field to Capt Henry Fitzgerald (died 1847), an alabaster tablet to Lt Col Robert Cooke (died 1933), and a tall tapered white marble tablet to Edward Lewis Hughes, 1st Baron Dinorben (died 1814), with additions noting his subsequent titles. A collection of six hatchments are displayed at the west end, commemorating H R Hughes (died 1911), Charlotte Margaret (died 1835), Edward Hughes (1738-1815), William Lewis Hughes, 1st Baron (died 1814), William Lewis Hughes, 2nd Baron (died 1852), and Florentia Emily Hughes (died 1909). Within the porch, a plaster Royal Arms of 1618, with lion and unicorn supporters, is displayed, along with a painted Hanoverian arms over the inner door. A baroque painted and gilded shield is also present, alongside an inscribed oval plaque to the Rev John Parry (died 1699). Finally, a detached medieval head of a bishop is set into a window reveal.
