A secluded church in a lush valley

One of two Medieval churches in a small village off the Salisbury to Devizes road, St George’s is attractively secluded in its lush valley.

It is built of flint and stone with a Norman north door and 13th-century windows in the nave and chancel.

The main windows are Perpendicular, as is the low tower with its fine, tall panelled arch.

The Royal Arms are dated 1636 and most of the fittings are Victorian.

Keyholder

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.

Facilities

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.
