Description

The George and Dragon is a small pub, usually decorated with flowers, in an idyllic setting on a quiet lane. There is a large, grassy garden to the rear and Hall and Woodhouse beers are served from a small flag-stoned bar. The pub can be very popular for food at weekends. See also Recently Visited: The George and Dragon.

Rather strangely, there is a gravestone, of the albino son of a former innkeeper, in the front garden. The grave is in the church but the gravestone was removed by the vicar, apparently because of the inscription, so the parents put the memorial in their pub garden. More details on the pub website [see History].
