The Church of St George in Bicknoller, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The church is dominated by a 1000-year-old elm tree in its grounds.[2]
The church, which is decorated with a collection of carved angels and nightmarish animal heads, was largely rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries.[3]
The interior includes a 12th-century pillar piscina.[4] There is a memorial to William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, who spent his holidays in the village from 1933 to 1944.[5]
The organ dates from 1922 and has a carved oak case. It was built by the Positive Organ Company.[6] The bells in the tower include one which was previously at St Saviour's in Larkhall, Bath.[7] In 2012 plans were underway to install and sixth bell.[8]
The parish is part of the Quantock Towers benefice within the Taunton archdeaconry.[9]
