Church of England Anglican state church of England

The Church of England is the established church of England. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the most senior cleric, although the monarch is the supreme governor. The Church of England is also the mother church of the international Anglican Communion. It traces its history to the Christian church recorded as existing in the Roman province of Britain by the third century, and to the 6th-century Gregorian mission to Kent led by Augustine of Canterbury.

Saint George 4th-century Christian saint and martyr

Saint George was a soldier of Cappadocian Greek origins, member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian who was sentenced to death for refusing to recant his Christian faith. He became one of the most venerated saints and megalo-martyrs in Christianity, and he was especially venerated as a military saint since the Crusades.

During the 1970s a small popular airstrip for light aircraft, named MILSON, was created on a small farm within the parish. It is a popular destination during the summer months and is used occasionally by military helicopters from the Defence Helicopter Flying School (DHFS) at RAF Shawbury.
