Description
The Church of St George is a church built in 1832 by John Hiram Haycock, featuring an ashlar facing over brick and Welsh slate roofs. It is designed in the Commissioners' Gothic style and includes a west tower, a single-span roof over the nave, short transepts, and a shallow chancel. The three-stage tower has a doorway and a lancet window above, both with hoodmoulds, a clock in the second stage, and paired lights in the bell chamber above. The tower is adorned with a corbel table featuring gargoyles and an embattled parapet with angle finials. There are slight angle buttresses on the tower and nave, four lancet lights in the nave, and triple lancet lights in the east wall of the chancel.
Inside, the church is largely a single space with a shallow chancel, featuring an oak panelled reredos and traceried plaster panels above. There is a hatchment on the north wall of the chancel and stained glass in the east window by Davide Evans, depicting figures of saints, along with abstract stained glass in the transept windows.
