Summary
| Description |
English: St. George's Church in Vernet-les-Bains, France is a parish church of the Diocese in Europe of the Church of England. It was constructed around 1912, when this spa town was popular with visitors from England, including Rudyard Kipling. The church was built in a Romanesque style. A plaque in local red marble on the side of the building carries the inscription: "This stone was laid by the Field-Marshal Earl Roberts on the 17th day of April 1911".
The church later became disused, but, after extensive repairs in recent years, carried out by the commune with financial support from a local Anglican community, the church has reopened as both a place of worship and a cultural centre. In 2019, St. George's became home to the first peal of change ringing bells in France, and the first ring of ten bells in mainland Europe ("English bells ring the changes in France", The Times, May 03 2019). |
