This endearing church, a jumble of sandstone and brick, roofed in stone and clay tiles, with a timber bell-cote, owes its unrestored survival to the building of nearby Christ Church in 1853. It is basically a Tudor structure dating from about 1540, with additions between 1724 and 1842. In 1725-26 the south transept was added to house a remarkable family pew to Vanbrugh’s design for the Duke of Newcastle. Fine 18th-century furnishings include the three-decker pulpit and reredos, and there are notable monuments and hatchments.

CES carried out the design and installation of an extensive new lighting system for St George’s in 2008. Their service was professional from start to finish and both the Trust and the local Friends group have been delighted with the end product, which has transformed the interior ambience of the church. CES worked with great sensitivity to the historic fabric and were able to bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the design of the system and the practical issues that are involved with any new installation into an historic church.
