The nearest village is Leintwardine, 2.5 miles distant which has a good range of local facilities. Burrington has good transport links, it is 5 miles to the main A49 giving excellent road links and there is a railway station in Ludlow. St George's is a Grade II Listed former church, its origins dating back to the 13th century and rebuilt in 1864. The church is in the early English style with lancet windows and plate tracery. The south doorway has a Norman-style round arched head (which Buildings of England suggests may have replicated the doorway of the old church). The most significant part of the church lies outside the east wall of the chancel in the form of eight seventeenth century ledger slabs which were inside the church until 1864. They are highly significant for their historic design and interest. The church is suitable for a variety of alternative uses. Expressions of interest should be made direct to the agent. Key features Parish church Historic origins dating from the thirteenth century or earlier Nave rebuilt circa 1855 by S Pountney Smith Chancel rebuilt and shortened in 1864 by George Frederick Bodley
How buying it together would work
- Pledge a number. Your name and amount go on this page. It is a signal, not a payment — nobody is charged, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
- Reach the number. When pledges cover the asking price (plus a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep), the page closes and the group is introduced.
- Form the entity. Neighbors decide the structure — a nonprofit, a co-op, a land trust, or a single buyer with donations. A real-estate attorney drafts it; a title company or solicitor holds funds in escrow.
- Buy, then decide what it is. Worship, a community hall, a school, housing, or simply keeping the doors open and the organ playing. The deed records the promise.
