After St George's church closed in the 1980s, it was bought by J Sainsbury plc, who built a supermarket adjacent to it and used the church building to house the cafe, toilets and magazine counter. Seen from this angle, the church looks like some sort of mirage caused by the partially obscuring trees, but it is real enough. My then partner always referred to this supermarket as Saintsbury's, hence the title.
