Charity details

St. George's Church, Brailes

Welcome to the ancient parish church of St George in Brailes. We hope you will enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this magnificent building which was founded more than 900 years ago.

St George’s is sometimes known as the Cathedral of the Feldon as it is the grandest of the churches in the Warwickshire ‘field land’ which lies south of the River Avon. The building is 49m (162ft) long and 17m (57ft) wide with a tower which is 36m (120ft) high. Although the church is very large for ordinary parish use, it has a special quality of light and an atmosphere of holiness and tranquility appreciated by the Brailes residents of past and present generations.

If the mood takes you, we hope you will allow some time for some quiet reflection or prayer during your visit and of course, you will always be welcome to join us in our worship. The times of services as well as contact details for the Vicar are on the noticeboards near the Lych gate. You are welcome to take photographs and there are postcards on sale as well as other items of interest and information and finally, please do sign the visitor’s book before you leave.

On behalf of the Parochial Church Council, we wish you a pleasant visit to St. George’s Church.
