==St George's church== The early 14th-century St George's church is set in a wooded valley. Most of the redsand stonework has been looted, however the original carved tympanum dates from circa 1150–60, and depicts St George on horseback, a knight crusader slaying a serpent-dragon, typical Herefordshire motifs of fabulous or mythical creatures. It borrowed from Normandy for influences, probably Parthenay-le-Vieux, Poitou, but the voussoirs is similar to that at Shobdon within a sequence of zodiacal beasts.
