The church of St. George is an edifice of stone in the Perpendicular style. . . . in the chancel is a double-canopied brass, with kneeling effigies heraldically attired, to Sir William Huddesfield, attorney-general to Edward IV. and of the privy council of Henry VII. and a justice of Oyer and Terminer, ob. 20th March, 1499, and to Katherine (Courtenay), his wife, and three children; at the foot of the brass is a Latin inscription: Sir W. Huddesfield rebuilt the tower of the church, and on the western face is a shield with supporters bearing his arms, impaling those of Courtenay, and below are similar shields: there is another brass with inscriptions to John Seaman B.A. "preacher of God's Holy Word in Shillingford," ob. 25th April, 1664: the east window is a memorial of Lady Palk, and there is another memorial window to Mrs. Pitman, of Dunchideock: there are 115 sittings.
