St. George Church, Salisbury

There are only two churches in Harnham parish to serve the local community - All Saints and Saint George. Saint George Church is situated in East Harnham across from the Water Meadows. The church was built in the Norman period around 1115. It is a small building that has been enlarged and restored over the centuries. Some smaller openings in the north walls, the chancel and the nave were part of the original structure. Other parts of the church date back to the 13th century, including the mural of the Appearance of Christ to Saint Mary Magdalene in the Garden. The church today is an intriguing mixture of the old and the new. The congregation always kindly welcomes visitors, so check it out for yourself.
