St George's Church, Norman parish church in Eastergate, England
Description
St George's Church is a parish church in Eastergate featuring a chancel, nave, and shingled bell-turret positioned at the west end. The walls are constructed from flint rubble covered in roughcast, creating a distinctive appearance typical of rural English churches.
History
The church dates from 1001 with evidence of worship on this site during the Saxon period before the Norman conquest. The chancel section preserves substantial architectural elements from the Norman era.
Culture
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community with regular services held here for both daily worship and special occasions. Parishioners have maintained continuous religious life at this site for over a thousand years as part of their village identity.
Practical
The building accommodates around 80 visitors during regular services and offers additional space for special celebrations. Access is through a farmyard adjacent to the manor house, so it is helpful to approach the location carefully on foot.
