St George’s Day – The Churches Conservation Trust

23rd April is St George’s Day – what better way to celebrate than a visit to one of our St George’s churches. Take a stroll in the rolling countryside, stop off at a very special historic building and finish up at a village pub for lunch. –

St. George’s Church Orcheston – A secluded church in a lush valley

One of two Medieval churches in a small village off the Salisbury to Devizes road, St George’s is attractively secluded in its lush valley. It is built of flint and stone with a Norman north door and 13th-century windows in the nave and chancel. The main windows are Perpendicular, as is the low tower with its fine, tall panelled arch. The Royal Arms are dated 1636 and most of the fittings are Victorian. Have you visited this church?
