St George's church - C17 ledger stone
St George's church > Link is located about 2 kilometres northwest of Hardingham, a village consisting of scattered hamlets and groups of houses. Like a number of other churches in this area, St George has its tower not at the west end but at the south wall > Link. The interior was extensively restored during Victorian times > Link - Link - a piscina, the George III royal arms and a C13 font > Link - albeit broken - have survived. A few interesting C17 ledger stones (one seen here) - see also > Link - can be found on the chancel floor; the west end of the nave has been devoted to villagers lost during WW1. The stained glass windows date from the 19th and early 20th centuries > Link. A window in the west wall commemorates Major William Mordaunt Marsh Edwards VC who won the Victoria Cross at Tel-el-Kebir during the Egyptian war of 1882 > Link. A memorial window to William Bartle Marsh Edwards of the Rifle Brigade, killed in action in Tunisia, 1943, is in the north wall > Link. The church is kept locked but a key is available at the adjoining Old Rectory > Link. For more information see: LinkExternal link
