In the top stage are arcades of tall lancets, the outer ones being blind. The parapet is embattled. The nave and aisles are in seven bays. The bays of the aisles are separated by buttresses rising to pinnacles, and each bay contains a pair of lancet windows. Each bay of the clerestory also contains a pair of lancets. The east window consists of five stepped lancets. Interior Inside the church the arcades are carried on eight thin piers. There are galleries on three sides carried on cast iron pillars, their fronts being decorated with tracery. The ceiling is flat, carried on cast iron, decorated hammerbeams. At the west end of the north aisle is a baptistry containing a white marble font consisting of an angel carrying a scalloped bowl. The octagonal sculpted pulpit was made by Thomas Rawcliffe of Chorley. The eagle lectern is a memorial to the church's first vicar. The stained glass in the east window is also to the first vicar's memory and is dated 1875. There is a window in the south chancel wall dated 1877, and windows in the north chancel wall dated 1914 and 1920. The glass in the west window is by Stephen Adam, and depicts the Resurrection. The chandeliers were installed in 1977, having previously been in St Mary's Church, Ulverston. The clock in the tower was installed in 1920. The three-manual organ was made in about 1870 by Kirtland and Jardine, with modifications by E. Walklet in 1934.

St George's Church, Everton

St George's Church is in Everton, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is the earliest of three churches in Liverpool built by John Cragg, who used many components in cast iron which were made at his Mersey Iron Foundry. It is an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Liverpool, the Liverpool archdeaconry, and the Liverpool North deanery. History The Liverpool merchant James Atherton, who later established the seaside resort of New Brighton, Wirral, donated the land for the church. He positioned it at the rear of his villa, atop the hill where the Everton Beacon had stood prior to its destruction by a storm in 1803. The building of the church was enabled by an Act of Parliament, the St. George's Church, Everton Act, which was passed in 1813. The foundation stone was laid on 19 April 1813 and the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Chester on 26 October 1814. The architect was Thomas Rickman and the church was built by John Cragg. Structure The outer shell of the church is built in stone while the interior is in cast iron. Its plan consists of a west tower, a seven-bay nave with aisles, and a short chancel. Porches flank the tower and chancel. The tower has diagonal buttresses, an arched west door with a three-light window above. The next stage has a clock on three faces and above this are three-light bell-openings which are partly glazed and partly louvred. On the summit is an embattled parapet with pinnacles at the corners. All the windows have cast iron tracery. Internally the nave has arcades of cast iron and the aisles have galleries. The roof is of cast iron. The architectural style of the church is Perpendicular. Tie rods were added in the 20th century. Fittings and furniture Most of the stained glass was destroyed in the Second World War. The only complete survivor is a window dated 1863 by A. Gibbs. The glass in the east window dates from 1952 and is by Shrigley and Hunt. The memorials include one under the tower to John Rackham who died in 1815 which was designed by Thomas Rickham and carved by S. & J. Franceys, a memorial to Thomas W. Wainwright, a surgeon who died in 1841 with a relief of the Good Samaritan by William Spence, and in the north gallery is a Gothic tabernacle by Emanuel Edward Geflowski to the memory of engineer Walter Fergus MacGregor who died in 1863. The original chair frame bell was made by Ainsworth of Warrington. It was restored in 1937 by George Eccles but vandalised in the late 1960s. The present clock was made by Smiths of Clerkenwell and installed in 1973.

St George's Church, Goltho

St George's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the deserted village of Goltho, Lincolnshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church is in a field, and can be approached only by footpaths to the south of the A158 road, 2 miles (3 km) southwest of Wragby, and 11 miles (18 km) northeast of Lincoln. The church was the last evidence surviving above ground of the deserted medieval village and manorial holding dating from the ninth century on the site of a Romano-British settlement. The church was severely fire damaged in 2013. History The nave of the present church was rebuilt in about 1530 by the Grantham family of Goltho Hall (now demolished), and the chancel was added in about 1600. Alterations and additions were made in the early 18th century and in the late 19th century. The church was gutted by fire on 21 October 2013, leaving only the walls and bellcote standing, the most likely cause being a lightning strike. The Churches Conservation Trust does not insure its buildings and as of 2020 the church remains unrestored with access prohibited. Architecture St George's was constructed in red brick, and had a tiled roof with wooden eaves. Its plan was simple, consisting of a nave with a bellcote at the west end, and a narrower, lower chancel. Entry to the church was by the west door, above which was a blocked window. The bellcote had a single round-headed opening. On the north side of the church was a small opening high on the wall and, to the east, a large rectangular window. In the north wall of the chancel was a large window with a pointed head. At the east end was a blind oval window. The south wall of the chancel contained a single large pointed window, and there was a large rectangular window in the south wall of the nave. Immediately to the west of this window was part of the arch of a blocked doorway. Inside the church, the walls were lime-washed white, and the fittings, mostly of poignant modesty, painted pale blue. There were niches in the north and south walls of the nave. Two 17th-century gravestones were incorporated into the floor of the nave. The fittings destroyed in the fires included a double-decker Georgian pulpit, a classical reredos from the Queen Anne period with curved entablature, box pews, balustrade altar rails in the Laudian style, and carved bench ends. There was a small gallery at the west end of the nave, probably for singers or musicians. The small scale and endearing simplicity of the church as the last visible remnant of Goltho was illustrated by English artist John Piper in the collection Church Poems by British Poet Laureate John Betjeman. External features The churchyard contains the war grave of a Royal Air Force officer of the First World War.

St George’s Church (Gravesend)

St George’s Church, Gravesend ist die anglikanische Pfarrkirche von Gravesend in der englischen Grafschaft Kent. Die im Rahmen des 1711 vom britischen Parlament verabschiedeten Kirchenbauprogramms für die Errichtung von Fünfzig Neuen Kirchen von einem ungenannten Architekten erbaute Kirche St George’s, Gravesend ist ein in Sichtziegel mit Eckquaderung und Gesimsen in Portland-Stein errichteter Kirchenbau mit eingezogenem Turm, bekrönt von einem Uhrengeschoss mit aufgesetztem Obelisken. Im Osten schließt sich eine halbkreisförmige Apsis mit einem als Palladiomotiv gestalteten Fenster an. Der Kirchenbau wurde um 1900 um ein nördliches Seitenschiff erweitert, das im Innern durch weite Arkaden mit dem Kirchenraum verbunden ist. Dabei wurden die ursprünglichen, für anglikanischen Pfarrkirchen der Zeit charakteristischen Emporeneinbauten entfernt. Am 21. März 1617 wurde im Vorgängerbau der heutigen Kirche die legendäre Frau des Virginia-Pflanzers John Rolfe und „Indianerprinzessin“ Pocahontas bestattet, deren 1922 von William Ordway Partridge für Jamestown (Virginia) geschaffene Statue 1958 als Kopie vor der Kirche aufgestellt wurde.

St George's Church, Gravesend

St George's Church, Gravesend, is a Grade II*-listed Anglican church dedicated to Saint George the patriarch of England, which is situated near the foot of Gravesend High Street in the Borough of Gravesham. It serves as Gravesend's parish church and is located in the diocese of Rochester in Kent, England. Burials Pocahontas, a Native American woman who lived in England, died in Gravesend. Aged 20 or 21, she died on her way back to North America accompanied by her husband, English-born colonist John Rolfe, and their son, Thomas. She was buried under the chancel of St. George's Church on 21 March 1617. When the church was rebuilt in 1731, the exact spot was lost. William Ordway Partridge's bronze statue commemorates her. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the many Jacobite Army POWs who died because of the inhumane conditions aboard the prison hulks anchored off Gravesend in the River Thames are believed to have been buried as "unknowns" in what was then the unconsecrated area of St. George's Cemetery. The most well known such burial is that of former non-combatant military chaplain and Roman Catholic Martyr Fr. Alexander Cameron, the younger brother of Donald Cameron of Lochiel.

St George's Church, Kendal

St George's Church is in Castle Street, Kendal, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Kendal, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Oswald, Burneside, St John, Grayrigg, St Mary, Longsleddale, St Thomas, Selside, and St John the Baptist, Skelsmergh, to form the Beacon Team Mission Community. It was a Commissioners' church, having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission. History The church originated from a chapel of ease to Kendal Parish Church in 1754. This was located in a two-storey building in Kirkgate; the chapel occupied the upper storey, the ground floor was the butter market, and the basement was used as the gaol. The chapel closed when the present church was built in Castle Street. This was built between 1838 and 1841 to a design by the local architect George Webster. A grant of £4,242 (equivalent to £380,000 in 2025) was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission. Between 1910 and 1914 a chancel, organ chamber and vestries were added, which had been designed by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley in 1904. Originally at the west end of the church were twin octagonal towers with spires, the towers being 100 feet (30 m) high, but there were problems with their foundations. The towers were shortened in 1927, and in 1978 were reduced again, this time to the same height as the roof of the nave. In 1963 the two western bays were partitioned to create a side chapel and a meeting room. The galleries at the sides of the church were removed, and the west gallery was converted into a hall in the upper storey. In 2004 a narthex, flanked by two small pavilions, was built at the west end to provide a new entrance and toilets. Architecture Webster's nave and tower bases are constructed in limestone and are in Early English style with thin lancet windows and buttresses. The chancel added by Austin and Paley is in sandstone, its style being Decorated. Inside the church, the wooden pulpit stands on columns of Peterhead granite, and the lectern is in the form of an eagle. The furnishings in the chancel are by Austin and Paley. The sanctuary is floored with Carrara marble and Crinoidal limestone from Dent. To the south of the chancel is a transept containing the choir and clergy vestries. The three-manual pipe organ was made in 1883 by the local organ builders Wilkinson and Sons and is claimed to be the largest surviving example of the firm's work. In 1911 the same firm moved the instrument from its original home in the south gallery to the newly constructed organ chamber. In 1983 it was restored by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool, the successor firm to Wilkinson.
