It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. HistoryThe church was built in 1873–74 as a Presbyterian Church and was designed by Thomas Wylie.[1] It was altered in 1931 by Irvine and Mosscrip, and later became a United Reformed Church.[2] ArchitectureExteriorSt George's is constructed in coursed rock-faced sandstone rubble and has a slate roof.[2] Its architectural style is that of about 1300.[1] The church consists of a five bay nave, and a west steeple consisting of a three-stage tower with a tall broach spire.[2] The tower has angle buttresses, and in its lowest stage is a west doorway with a porch. The porch has a steep gable and is elaborately decorated with colonnettes, crocketed coping, and a finial. In the middle stage is a triple niche with crocketed trefoils, and in the top stage are pairs of two-light louvred bell openings with hood moulds. Above these are an arcaded frieze, a pierced parapet, and corner pinnacles. On the spire are two tiers of lucarnes.[2] At the west end of the nave, flanking the tower, are arched doorways with two-light arched windows above. The bays of the nave are separated by buttresses, and each bay contains a three-light window with plate tracery.[2] InteriorThe interior of the church consists of a single nave. At the west end is a wooden and glazed arcaded screen.[2] There is another screen at the east end; this is wooden, arcaded, in Gothic style, and is integrated with a dais and reading desk. There are two schemes of stained glass in the windows, one by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, and the other by Shrigley and Hunt.[1] AppraisalOn 15 November 1972 the church was designated as a Grade II listed building.[2] Grade II is the lowest of the three grades of listing and is applied to buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".[3] Present dayAs an active United Reformed Church it organises service and various group activities, and also provides morning coffee for the general public.[4] See also{{portal|Merseyside}}
