Priory Church of St George, Dunster

Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint GEORGE, to whom the church of Dunster was dedicated, but the veneration of him goes back a long way to early Christianity. A martyr who is equated with George is said to have lived in the third century.
The legend of Saint George as a dragon slayer is well known and widespread, however, and he is usually depicted - in paintings or as a statue - as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback.
The memorial day of the very popular George in the calendar of saints is celebrated on April 23rd in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. Among other things, he is the patron saint of the English kingdom, and some of the orders and decorations awarded there also bear his name.

This charming church is largely 15th-century, although there's been a church here for far longer and older sections are in evidence. A Grade I-listed building, it sits in the village of Dunster on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The churchyard is beautiful, with historical buildings alongside it.

Beautiful church, simply stunning and there is much more to see in this iconic English town.
