Burrington, St George
The building
The nearest village is Leintwardine, 2.5 miles distant which has a good range of local facilities. Burrington has good transport links, it is 5 miles to the main A49 giving excellent road links and there is a railway station in Ludlow. St George's is a Grade II Listed former church, its origins dating back to the 13th century and rebuilt in 1864. The church is in the early English style with lancet windows and plate tracery. The south doorway has a Norman-style round arched head (which Buildings of England suggests may have replicated the doorway of the old church). The most significant part of the church lies outside the east wall of the chancel in the form of eight seventeenth century ledger slabs which were inside the church until 1864. They are highly significant for their historic design and interest. The church is suitable for a variety of alternative uses. Expressions of interest should be made direct to the agent. Key features Parish church Historic origins dating from the thirteenth century or earlier Nave rebuilt circa 1855 by S Pountney Smith Chancel rebuilt and shortened in 1864 by George Frederick Bodley

How a group buys it
- A reader enters a pledge: a name and an amount, recorded on this page. It is a declaration of intent, not a payment. Nothing is charged, and a pledge may be withdrawn on request.
- When the pledges against the building cover the asking price, together with a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep, the page closes and the pledgers are introduced to one another.
- The group settles its legal form: a nonprofit, a co-operative, a land trust, or a single buyer collecting donations. An attorney drafts the instrument, and a title company or solicitor holds the funds in escrow.
- The purchase completes, and the group decides the building's use: worship, a hall, a school, housing, or simple preservation. The deed records the arrangement.
