}}St George's Church in Orcheston, Wiltshire, England, was built in the 13th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 1 March 1982, and was vested in the Trust on 30 October 1985.[3]

The church is built of flint and has a Norman north door.[2] The door has single columns which are headed by simple scallop shaped carvings with fan-shaped leaves in the scallops.[6] The short embattled west tower has a tiled pyramidal roof. It contains three bells which were cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough following fire damage to the bells which previously hung there.[4][8]

The windows in the nave and Early English chancel and low tower also date from the 13th century.[2] The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.[1] Inside are the Royal Arms of 1636.[2] The font is of a style popular in the 15th century, however it was made in the 1833.[1] The funerary hatchment is also from the 1830s.[1]

The church was restored in 1833 by Thomas Henry Wyatt,[5][6] during which the roof of nave was raised.[1] In 1933 the parish of St George was combined with St Mary's, the other church in the village,[4] and, in 1991 became part of a united benefice of Tilshead, Orcheston and Chitterne.[7]

In 1988 the church was used as a location for the filming of the BBC television series First Born with Charles Dance ringing the church's bells.[8]
