e List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. HISTORY - The church was built in 1725-26 as a chapel of ease to St. John's Church, Preston, and was enlarged in 1799, when it is likely that the transepts were added. The church was encased in stone in 1843. In the following year, St George's became a parish in it's own right. In 1848, the chancel, designated by the Lancaster architect, Edmund Sharpe, was added. The nave was raised and remodelled by Garlick, Park and Sykes in 1884-85. A gallery was added in the south transept during the 20th century. Priest in Charge - Fr. David Craven, SSC.
