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.
