From Weald & Downland churches:

St George's at Trotton is a lovely little church, which, unusually, consists of a through nave and chancel undivided by a chancel arch. A chancel screen and rood-beam would, pre-reformation, have divided the two sections of the building. The nave and chancel are early 14th century, having been rebuilt c1300. The west tower, with broach spire, is older, dating to c1230.

The three light east window has glass dated 1857. The centre light depicts the Crucifixion, and the outer lights have 'grisaille' glass ie patterns on a grey/white background.

St George's church contains some important medieval treasures, including two exceptional early brasses, and finely detailed wall paintings dating to between 1350 and 1380.
