Church Of St George

The Church of St George, built between 1896 and 1897, is a Grade I listed building designed by architects Austin and Paley. It showcases a Perpendicular style typical of the end of the Gothic Revival, with some influences of Art Nouveau. This impressive structure is made of ashlar stone and features a crenellated crossing tower adorned with a carved inscription, topped by a spire that rises between thin flying buttresses and connects to four pinnacles, reaching a height of approximately 230 feet.

The east window consists of seven lights set between heavy buttresses, while the west window also features seven lights. Inside, the church has six bays leading up to the crossing, with a wide and high nave that boasts an attractive wooden ceiling. The organ case was designed by Austin. The church was funded by George Fearn, a local brewer, who also contributed to the construction of the Vicarage and the nearby school. His grave is marked by a miniature replica of the church spire.

St George's Church, along with St George's Church of England Primary School, Secondary Modern Schools, and the Vicarage, forms a cohesive group of buildings.
