Dean Prior has a
Grade I listed church dedicated to
St George the Martyr, where the seventeenth-century poet
Robert Herrick was vicar from 1629 to 1646 and 1660 to 1674. A
gothic church, built in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century, it is made of stone rubble with granite dressings. The church is home to a twelfth-century
romanesque style font, decorated around the rim with saltires and highly stylised forms, described by
Nikolaus Pevsner as being dragons, although
Michael Paraskos claims they are examples of
pseudo-Arabic writing. File:Dean Forge and Dean Prior Garden Centre - geograph.org.uk - 14676.jpg|Dean Forge and Dean Prior Garden Centre File:Dean Prior ordanance survey snip.png|
