St George's Church The body of the church is Perpendicular, but the chancel was rebuilt in 1875, when the whole church was restored.  The chancel, with its short transepts, was disused by 1970 and has since been demolished, the east end now being closed by this plain window and new wall within the original chancel arch of two chamfered orders.

We are not amused! Label stop by the north door of St George's Church.  Traditionally these stops are caricatures of the reigning monarch and current bishop (thanks to Richard Croft for pointing out this custom).  The church was restored in 1875, so this sour-faced queen must be Victoria.
