Church Of St George

The Church of St George, now used as a craft centre, was built in 1796 and altered in the late 20th century. It is constructed of brick with a slate roof and stone dressings. A west tower and a single-span roof, appearing as two storeys externally, cover the galleried nave. A shallow chancel and a south chapel were added or rebuilt in 1907 by James Simpson.

The four-stage tower has a pedimented west doorway with a traceried fanlight, an iron-framed ogee window above, and a clock set into stone. Triple bell-chamber lights are beneath a segmental archway in the upper stage. A stone parapet with ball finials tops the tower. The nave has seven bays, extended by a single bay to the north-east, with pediments over the central four windows on each side. Round-arched windows have margin lights; the north-east extension has a window in a stone architrave. West doors, each side, have diagonal panelling set within pedimented cases, with interlace tracery in the fanlights.

The early 20th century chancel is in a flamboyant interpretation of a classical style. There is a pedimented feature on the east wall, with a round-arched main window featuring an oculus above, set in a segmentally arched recess with elongated voussoirs, and panelled pilasters to each side. Venetian windows are in each wall of the south chapel.

The interior has seven bays with galleries to the west, north, and south. Wood panelling encases the supporting pillars, and panelled parapets define the galleries. A segmentally arched ceiling is divided into plaster panels with simple mouldings. A low stone wall marks the chancel, which is raised up steps flanked by balusters resembling heavy volutes. Coupled piers divide the chancel into two bays, accentuated by enriched plasterwork to the segmentally arched ceiling. Paired arches lead to the chapel to the south, with an organ chamber to the north. Pilasters flank the east window, which contains pictorial stained glass serving as a private war memorial. The chancel furniture is in a Renaissance style, including choir stalls, an ornate high, pedestal pulpit with a long, curved staircase, altar rails, and an altar piece with a central niche beneath a broken pediment.
