Church Of St George

The Church of St. George is a church built between 1838 and 1840 by Sharpe for the Church Commissioners. It is constructed from watershot stone and features a slate roof. The church has a nave and aisles that are under one roof, along with a small chancel and a west tower. The galleries have been removed, and the rear has been partitioned off.

The building has a projecting plinth, coped gables, and eaves. The seven-bay aisles are supported by thin weathered buttresses that are set back at the corners. There is a gallery door in the west bay, which is now blocked, and the lancet-shaped windows have two lights with geometrical tracery, marking an early example of the revival of this style. The one-bay chancel features a four-light east window. The three-stage tower has octagonal corner piers that are buttressed and rise as pinnacles. It has windows similar to those in the aisles on the second and third stages, as well as a clock aperture in the second stage.

Inside, the church has a chamfered nave arcade supported by octagonal columns with moulded heads and a coved ceiling. Notable interior features include an alabaster font shaped like an angel holding a shell, an organ by Renn, stained glass by Lightfoot, and a carved timber pulpit, reredos, and organ casing.
