Description
The Former Church of St George is an Anglican church built in 1830, designed by James Morgan, who was a partner of John Nash. It is now part of a supermarket. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with a west steeple and is designed in a classical style.
The east facade includes a central pedimented chancel projection with single-storey re-entrant blocks on either side. It has a sill band, a top pediment, and a breaking pediment over the nave. The central Venetian window is flanked by antae and has small-paned glazing, with a louvred lunette above. The nave features blind round-headed windows with archivolts. The re-entrant blocks have entrances adorned with architraves and consoled cornices, with 20th-century doors.
The south facade is two storeys high and has seven bays, with segmental-headed windows on the ground floor and round-headed windows with archivolts on the first floor. The first bay is treated as the west facade. The north facade retains similar first-floor windows. The west facade features a central section that breaks forward under the tower, with a ground-floor entablature, end angle pilasters, and paired Doric columns flanking the center.
The central round-headed entrance has imposts, an archivolt, and a console keystone, with flanking entrances that have architraves and consoled cornices, along with windows above. The first floor has fielded panels, and the central window is framed by an architrave and consoled cornice, with blind windows on the returns. The two-stage tower has a sill band and angle pilaster strips on the second stage, topped with a cornice and a balustraded parapet. The first stage features roundels, while the second stage has architraved windows with cornices and clock faces above, flanked by consoles. The tower culminates in a balustraded parapet and a needle spire. The interior has been gutted.
