DID YOU KNOW...

St George's Church was dedicate to St George in the year 1222.

There used to be a Motte and Bailey Castle at Toddington (Congar Hill) and Chalgrave.

St George is not just the patron saint of England, of course – notably, he’s also
the patron saint of Georgia, Germany, Portugal, Palestine and lepers, among
many others.

He was probably a soldier and died in Palestine for his faith c303AD and the
Church remembers him every year on 23rd April.
