St Georges Church Kelmscott

In a typical village the parish church is right next to the manor house. But in the village of Kelmscott, which spreads along 4 lanes that form a box, St George's Church is on the opposite side of the village to Kelmscott Manor. St George's was begun in the late 12th century, and since the middle of the 16th century it has remained virtually unaltered. The Arts & Crafts designer Willam Morris is buried in the churchyard
