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. |
