St George's was a brick building of 1847 attached to a Perpendicular tower. Pevsner described it as 'rather depressing' & 'distasteful to look at'.¹

Conveniently condemned as unsafe it was finally destroyed by dynamite despite the efforts of the villagers to save it. 'A shameful business', thought Henry Thorold.²
