The construction of St George's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667713 started in the 12th century, with south porch and aisle > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667780 added in the 14th century. Despite renovation work that was carried out in the 19th century, the church has retained much of its medieval atmosphere > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667749. The C15 benches > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667770 have carved and pierced decorations in a variety of patterns, and poppyhead bench ends as well as carved figures on the arm rests, the latter much defaced. The octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667795 dates from the 14th century and some of the medieval glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667787 has remained in the east window of the south aisle. The rood screen is C15 and retains some of its original colouring. The panels depict the 12 apostles holding their recognised portion of the Creed, with the 4 Latin Doctors painted on the doors. Three return stalls > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667775 rest against the screen on the chancel side. The pulpit > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667776 is Jacobean. The chamber organ > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1667790 is believed to have been made by JC Bishop of London in about 1830.
