St George

The first church was probably simply a nave and chancel which became ruinous and was rebuilt in circa 1333 (dedicated by Bishop Stapledon).

All that remains of the early C14 church is the chancel and the bottom stage of the west tower.

The church was enlarged in the C15 by the addition of the 4-bay north and south aisles and the south porch.

C19 2-light first floor south window and C15 moulded 2-centred arch Beer-stone south doorway with quatrefoils and mouchettes in the spandrels.

The porch has a 2-bay Beer-stone vault and inner walls with blind arcades, the shafts with low relief carved capitals.

Over the inner doorway a corbel supporting a late C19 figure of St George and the Dragon.

The chancel is probably all that survives of the 1333 church.

The gable ended vestry is later than the chancel but seems to be earlier than the north aisle? Tall west tower in 2 stages, the bottom stage is earlier, probably 1333, the-tall top stage is probably a C15 rebuild.

The west doorway below has a chamfered 2-centred arch, only the stone jambs are circa 1333, the arch is C19.

The fine 4-bay north and south arcades are also Beer stone with moulded 2- centred arches and Pevsner A-type piers, only the shafts have capitals which have low relief leaf carving and mounded bases.

Immediately to the west of the piscina a rather mutilated sedilia with a cavetto moulding to one side and remains of plaster at the back with finely painted head and shoulders only of a figure.

Early C15 rood screen across nave and aisles, with Pevsner A-type tracery replaced in the C19 in the nave and with C15 painted figures in the wainscotting.

The stone pulpit has a slender stem and figures in niches with nodding ogee canopies alternating with running vine decoration on columns, it is all rather rudely carved like folk art

The carved wooden lectern is circa mid C19.

The red sandstone font is C12

the font cover is C20.

The carved wooden altar rail is also C20.

The carved wood reredos with figures of saints is early C20 but the stone altar with quatrefoils is mentioned by Davidson in 1847.

Royal Arms of Charles II over south doorway painted on board in moulded frame with segmental head.

Hatchment in tower restored in 1972.

The floor of the chancel is paved in slate and there are many slate limestone ledger stones, one medieval, rebated for a brass figure.
