Affiliated to Forward in Faith and The Society we are a Traditional Catholic parish in the Church of England. George the Martyr is in George's Road, off Lune Street, Preston, Lancashire, UK.

It's benefice is united with that of St. The church is recorded in the National Heritag

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.

Fr David has recently been in Ghana visiting our link parish of St George’s Cathedral in Ho. Whilst there he met with local clergy and was able to strengthen our partnership. At the Parish Mass on the Sunday he was able to present the Cathedral with an Altar Missal and Book of the Gospels - a gift from us to them. He was also installed as an Honorary Canon in recognition for the support and friendship he has offered the diocese there.

The annual trip to Ladyewell is upon us once again. It's always a lovely day. Do come and offer your support as we people gather from across the North West. This year we're joined by the Bishop of Oswestry, the Rt Revd Paul Thomas SSC.

If you are coming bring a brolly and a packed lunch. You'll definitely need the latter and hopefully you won't need the former!
