Description

The Church of St George, now a United Reformed church, was built between 1873 and 1874 and altered in 1931 by Irving & Mosscrip. It is constructed of coursed rock-faced sandstone rubble and features a slate roof.

The exterior includes a three-stage tower with angle buttresses, corner pinnacles, and a tall broached spire. The west doorway is a two-centred arch located in a shallow, steeply-gabled porch set between the buttresses. This porch has elaborate details, including three orders of moulding with colonnettes, a multi-foil in the gable, and crocketed coping with a finial. The second stage of the tower features a triple niche with sharply pointed crocketed trefoils, while the belfry has pairs of two-light louvred windows with hoodmoulds. Additional details include an arcaded frieze, an oversailing pierced parapet, and lucarnes at two levels of the spire.

The nave's flanking ends have moulded two-centred arched doorways and two-centred arched two-light windows above. The five-bay side walls are supported by buttresses and feature large two-centred arched three-light windows with alternating forms of plate tracery.

Inside, the church has a simple single vessel layout, with a wooden and glazed arcaded screen at the west end, some panelling and furnishings in a similar style at the east end, and a canted ceiling with exposed beams.
