It stands in the lea of the 12th Century Parish Church which can be seen clearly behind the property in the main photograph of the pub on the front of these sales particulars.
The George & Dragon offers all that would be expected of a country hostelry with character main bar with inglenook fireplace and boarded floor and attractive 40 seater restaurant.
