History of St. George's Church  Built 1859-60 by S.W. Daukes of Gloucester, St George's Church is a Grade II Listed Building. Its construction was paid for in the most part by Sir George Samuel Jenkinson, 11th Baronet (27 September 1817 – 19 January 1892), a British Conservative politician who lived at nearby Eastwood Park. St. George's has a high-pitched roof, surmounted by a bell tower with open belvedere. The windows either side of the nave are double lancet with centrally positioned pointed quatrefoils above each pair. These  windows contain good Victorian stained glass. The octagonal font of Bath stone was a gift of Anthony Lyster of Dublin, the father of Lady Jenkinson. Memorials to the Jenkinson family can be found on the walls inside the church. |
