Description
The Church of St Andrew and St George, also known as the United Reformed Church, is a Congregational church located on St George's Road. It was built in 1863 and designed by the architects Oliver and Lamb from Newcastle Upon Tyne. The church is constructed from coursed and squared stone with a slate roof and is built over a basement that houses school rooms. A tower is situated at the north-east corner, which originally had a spire that was demolished around 1960.
Inside, the eastern vestibule was remodeled in 1938 and features rich wall panelling. The main body of the church has a south bay arcade with slender clustered shafts, which may be made of cast iron and are partially encased in wood. There is a horseshoe gallery to the east, north, and south that occupies the two easternmost bays, supported by shafts arranged in two tiers. This gallery was also remodeled in 1938. The chancel arch is supported by short shafts with foliate capitals, and the chancel itself was refitted in 1936, including wood wall panelling, choir stalls, a pulpit, and an organ loft, all gifted by William Hulme, 2nd Viscount Leverhulme.
The west wall features paired foiled lancets with a rose window above, which contains stained glass dating from around 1870. The church has cambered trusses in the wagon roof, adorned with decorative wrought-iron braces. Stained glass windows in the north and south aisles, created between 1936 and 1938, serve as memorials to Lord and Lady Leverhulme and members of the Tillotson family. Additionally, three stained glass windows were moved from the Church of St Andrew. Lord Leverhulme was a regular worshipper at this church and was married here in 1874.
