St Georges Church

The Patronal dedication name of Reynoldston's Church, St. George, reminds us of the Norman and English influences which predominated in this part of Wales for much of the last Millennium.

For many centuries a church has stood on this site now occupied by the current building, which dates from the mid-1860's and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic architecture and includes many examples of 20^th century stained glass, including a three-light east window designed by Nathaniel Westlake.

One of the early Christian monuments in Gower is a pillar cross near the chancel arch and another feature of the church is the Norman font that is carved from a single block of stalagmite
