By Schubert

St. George's Church, Crowhurst, Surrey.

This small church is an attractive building of 12th and 15th century work with alterations and additions occurring in the 13th and 14th centuries. Although the open trussed roofs are of early date the wooden spire clad with shingles is of recent date replacing the original after a fire in 1946.

The churchyard contains graves, stretching back several centuries, as well as a hollow yew tree, believed to be 4,000 year old, and whose immense branches are carefully supported.
