Inside St George's, an interesting and unusual feature is that the tower is engaged, i.e. built inside the west end of the nave, and not, as with most western towers, projecting out from the nave. This feature is normally found only in churches which possess side aisles, and in which the north and south walls of the towers are supported on the end pillars and arches of the aisles. What is unique here, as Didbrook has no side aisles, its north and south walls are supported on arches, creating a short side aisle each side of the tower.
Facing west, the direction of this photo, the effect is even more surprising, for the sideways thrust of the eastern tower arch (a normal feature in itself) is born each side by what can best be described as a cross between an arch with unequal sides and a flying buttress.
These, together with the tower arch itself, are enclosed within an exceptionally wide arch spanning the whole width of the church and supported by big exterior buttresses.
Another feature is the open trussed rafter and queen-post roof of the nave, also seen in the above photo. In the 18th century it was hidden by a dull plaster ceiling, as part of the fashion for turning such a church into a Georgian drawing room, but this was later removed and the only relic of the period here is the dull timber chancel arch.
