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 Ministry.[1] It was a Commissioners' church, having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission.[2]

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.[3] This was built between 1838 and 1841 to a design by the local architect George Webster.[4] A grant of £4,242 ({{Inflation|UK|4242|1841|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK}} was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission.[2] 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.[5] Originally at the west end of the church were twin octagonal towers with spires, the towers being {{convert|100|ft|m|0}} high, but there were problems with their foundations.[6] 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.[4][6]

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.[4] Inside the church, the wooden pulpit stands on columns of Peterhead granite, and the lectern is in the form of an eagle.[7] The furnishings in the chancel are by Austin and Paley.[4] The sanctuary is floored with Carrara marble and Crinoidal limestone from Dent.[8] To the south of the chancel is a transept containing the choir and clergy vestries.[9] The three-manual pipe organ was made in 1883 by the local organ builders Wilkinson and Sons. Originally housed in the south gallery, it was moved to the north organ chamber in 1911 by the same firm. In 1983 it was restored by Rushworth and Dreaper.[10]
