Duncton, Anthony & St GeorgeDuncton has a single bell, hung under a shelter on the west wall.
The church was built in 1868, and consecrated the following year. Upon inheriting Burton Park, Anthony J W Biddulph provided a Catholic burial ground on the main road. He later developed his plans by adding a church too, designed by Gilbert Blount. |
