From the outside, St. George's is basically a 12th century
church at heart, but the chancel and west wall are thoroughly
Victorian. The tower fell in the early 19th century, and it is
thought that the rubble was used to build the pair of cottages
adjacent to the churchyard.
This poor little church has undergone something of a roller
coaster ride. It was abandoned around the year 2000, and plans were
discussed for turning it into a village hall. However, these plans
have not as yet materialisd.
The roof appears to be in need of repair and because of the
danger of falling plaster etc, the church is kept locked.
Despite the long years of neglect, medieval features of St
George have survived intact, most famously the 15th Century pulpit,
but also part of a 15th Century glass figure of St John the
Baptist, set in the east window.
