The Tympanum over the door is of great antiquity, and may have been given to the church by William Belet, who was rewarded with the manor of Fordington by William the Conqueror. It is recorded that Belet went on the first Crusade. It would seem he was being hard pressed by the Saracens at the Battle of Dorylaeum 1097, when St. George came to his aid. He and his Squire have fallen to their knees in thankfulness. There are some small differences in the armour of the two groups.
