St. George. Burrington
St. George. Burrington.
A mostly Victorian rebuilt church of 1864, with a spire. It is in a very
pretty setting. At the east end are eight cast iron grave slabs dating
from the early 17th century. They are rare examples of early ironwork.
They were made during the period when iron was worked at Downton
Gorge.
Like so many of our churches, situated as they are in wonderful
countryside, the views and tranquillity are well worth a visit.
St George Burrington has been declared a ‘Festival’ Church.
Sadly St George is currently being reviewed
with a view to permanent closure as a
public place of worship.
You can still go and enjoy the peace and rural views
