Clyst St George
Clyst St George is a village in East Devon, England, adjoining the River Clyst some south east of Exeter and north of Exmouth.Overview and history
The village is the most southerly of six parishes named after the River Clyst. It fell within the Hundred of East Budleigh, and the ecclesiastical Deanery of Aylesbeare. The parish formerly contained Marsh Barton, now the site of an industrial estate within the Exeter City Council area.
The church, with a red sandstone tower, is dedicated to St George. It was completely rebuilt in 1854–59, gutted by fire in an air raid in 1940, and again rebuilt in 1952. The Lady Seaward Primary School was endowed by Lady Hannah Seaward in 1705 and rebuilt in 1859. It is described by Pevsner as "unspoilt" and "picturesque". The Old Rectory dates from the 18th century.
