St George's Church

 

Windows 

 

 

The windows in the main have been heavily renewed or, as in the case of the south and north windows in the chancel, replaced during the 19th century.

None of the stained glass is particularly old – mainly 19th century with some 18th century glass in the south aisle. 

However, the east window is worthy of mention. 

The window is of Portland stone and was brought in 1952 from the church St Alban's, Wood Street in the City of London, where it formed the west window of that church prior to the 1940 air raids. St.Alban’s was badly damaged and subsequently all of the church, apart from the tower, was demolished. It is thought to have been designed by Sir Christopher Wren when St Alban's was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666, but may have been the earlier window designed by Inigo Jones in 1633-34 which may have survived the fire.  The previous window at St.George’s was a memorial window installed in the 19th century of Bath stone and had weathered badly. It collapsed and for some time the window was blocked up.
