Church of St George, Medieval parish church in Fordington, England
The Church of St George features an ashlar west tower adorned with a crenellated parapet, buttresses, gargoyles, and diagonal pinnacles with crocket details.
Built around 1050, the church underwent substantial modifications in the 15th century, including the addition of the west wall and arches connecting the nave.
The south doorway displays a carved tympanum made of Caen stone depicting St George on horseback and soldiers at the Battle of Antioch.
The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements, including the 1592 stone pulpit and 14th-century altar.
A Roman-era tombstone discovered beneath the church porch now resides in the nave, indicating the site's previous use as a Roman cemetery.
