Church Of St George

The Church of St George is a Roman Catholic parish church built between 1868 and 1869 by architect A.M. Dunn, funded by Richard Lamb of West Denton. It is constructed of Flemish bond white brick with polychrome dressings, while the rear is made of red brick, and it has a Welsh slate roof. The church features a western three-sided apse to the chancel, a south tower, and a five-bay nave with a south porch.

In the porch, there is a blocked ritual west door with a shouldered lintel, as well as an inserted west door that has a broach-stopped rebate around it. The paired west lancets are supported by nook shafts, and above them is a cinquefoil with a drip mould that has ball-flower stops. The two west buttresses have carved gables. The nave includes two-centred-arched windows that are buttressed, with a sill string and a continuous impost band. A Lombard frieze runs above and around the apse. The two-stage tower is blind below and features wide two-centred-arched belfry openings under a Lombard frieze, corner gargoyles, and a steeply-pitched hipped roof topped with an iron ridge finial.
