Church Of St George

The Church of St George is a church built between 1826 and 1828 by Francis Goodwin, with restoration work carried out in 1884 by J.S. Crowther. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features slate roofs, designed in the Gothick Perpendicular style. The church has a nave with a west tower, north and south aisles beneath parallel roofs, diagonal porches at the west ends of the aisles, and a high polygonal apse.

The tall west tower consists of four unequal stages, with set-back buttresses that rise to tall octagonal traceried pinnacles topped with embattled elements and crocketed spirelets. The west doorway is 2-centred arched, featuring set-in shafts and three orders of moulding, with double doors adorned with Perpendicular tracery. Above this doorway is a traceried 2-light window, and a clock face is positioned above it. The third stage has coupled traceried 2-light windows, while the slender louvred and traceried belfry window is located in the tall set-back fourth stage, which is topped by an open-work parapet and intricate carvings.

The six-bay aisles are supported by buttresses that rise to pinnacles through an embattled parapet. Each aisle features large 2-centred arched 3-light transomed windows with Perpendicular tracery and hoodmoulds. The diagonal west porches have doorways similar to the west doorway of the tower, along with traceried 2-light windows. The nave has an embattled parapet that ends in octagonal east turrets, matching the tower's pinnacles. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to include galleries, Perpendicular arcades, and a wall monument to The Hon. George Berkeley Molyneux, who died in 1841, created by Edward Physick, depicting a soldier mourning beside an urn.
