This charming Tudor church was built from a jumble of sandstone and brick. It dates from around1540, with some additions between 1724 and 1842.
The interior has wonderful 18th-century furnishings, including a three-decker pulpit and a pew designed by the Blenheim Palace architect, John Vanbrugh.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
I think that St. George's is one of the most charming churches that I've ever seen. I'd not have known about it if it wasn't for 'England's Thousand Best Churches' As I visited during the week the church wasn't open but I'll certainly return one weekend.
