St George's Church, Trotton, Gothic church in Trotton, England
St George's Church is a Gothic-style church in West Sussex with characteristic pointed arches and high vaulted ceilings. The interior is notable for medieval wall paintings that cover large sections of the western and northern walls.
The building dates from the early 14th century and was later recognized as one of the region's most important architectural monuments. Its elevation to Grade I listed status underscores its continued significance for local heritage.
The wall paintings inside show scenes that are still visible to visitors today and offer insight into medieval religious beliefs. They were created to teach ordinary people lessons of faith through images they could understand.
The church sits beside the A272 road and has limited parking available on site. Visitors should plan to spend adequate time exploring the interior spaces and examining the artwork in detail.
A particularly striking brass memorial shows a deceased couple holding hands instead of being depicted in the typical prayer pose of the time. This unusual detail makes the monument a notable example of creative representation in the medieval period.
