The Anglican Church of St George in Easton in Gordano in the English county of Somerset is a Grade II* listed building.[1][2]
History[edit]
The church is dedicated to St. George.
The date of the first Church on this site is unknown, but records exist dating back to 1239. It is known that a church stood on the current site since 1230,[3] but was rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries.[1] The registers date from 1559.
The church was rebuilt, with the exception of the tower, in 1872 by Ewan Christian.[1] Conservation work was carried out on the tower in 2011.[4] In 2015 a grant was received to help towards the cost of the repair of the church roof.[5]
The parish is part of the benefice of Pill, Portbury and Easton in Gordano within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]
Architecture[edit]
The church has north and south aisles, a nave with clerestory, vestry and chancel. The 14th century three-stage west tower is supported by set-back buttresses.[1]
