Harrison's description (1911):

ST. GEORGE. Restored in 1890-1. Very interesting church, with quaint broached spire and large 14th c. wooden porch (Perp.). Of the orginal Nor. church, some rude herring-bone masonry may be seen in W. of N. wall; the small window in the nave and two doors, one leading to tower stairs, one in nave; and the aumbry behind the altar. The rest of the church is mainly E.E. - nave pillars, arches and the single lancets. The peculiar graceful and foliated lancets are of later work. In the Burrell chantry (Perp.) are two fine brasses to Sir Hugh Halsham and his wife,and the second Lady Philippa Halsham (c. 1440); also two brass inscriptions, one to Robert Havercroft (1522), and the other to children of Leonard Woodward (1710). There are monuments to the Burrell family - that to Sir W. Burrell by Flaxman; also to the Caryll and Poulett families. Fragments of a mural painting of St. Christopher may be seen; also stone coffin, two piscinae and fragments of old glass in W. window. Font, square Nor., on Dec. shaft with traceried chamfer at angles. Note: hinged panel in chancel roof, which conceals lever for raising the canopy of pyx (box for consecrated host). The Rectory is Jacobean. Reg. 1556.
