* Remembering England's national hero, St George's Day is marked today, 23rd April with many events, pageants and parades up and down the country. Including Morleys this weekend!
* While it is highly unlikely that St George ever visited England, that has not stopped the Patron Saint being recognised in addresses across the country.
* There are thousands of properties, streets and developments named after St George across England (and even a few in Wales), of which over 1,500 properties sold in 2018. The Welsh are of course no less patriotic, recording 120 sales referring to St David in 2018.
* It may be 1616 years since St George is alleged to have died, but the number of properties with a nod to St George continues to grow. 14% of ‘St George' sales in 2018 were new build homes.
