Description of Archaeology and History
The parish church of St Georges was built between 1887 and 1891 to provide a new place of worship for the expanding city of Nottingham. G.F Bodley was the architect behind the inclusion of a flat roofed vestry and a gabled pitched roof extension for the organ chamber in 1897. An extension at the same time provided a chapel to the South and plans had been put in place for a further extension as indicated by the timber weatherboard cladding, but this was not realised. The slightly subordinate gable to the main chancel was included.
Exterior Description
The architect was R C Sutton of Nottingham and a gothic revival style was used with a rough‐faced coursed sandstone for the walls with ashlar dressings around the openings. Plain red clay tiles were used for the roof coverings. The gabled porch has a moulded, pointed arch doorway with solid framed and ledged painted doors.
The South aisle with buttresses has 6 arched windows comprising pairs of lights with a round traceried window above, the design of which continues into the two West windows. Further window pairs occur along the North aisle. The chancel has a traceried gothic window at high level, while the West end has large featured stained glass circular window. The South chapel includes 3 tall arched windows to the South.
Interior
Interior Description
Internally the structure is predominantly exposed brick with ashlar piers and dressings. The nave has 4‐ bay arcades with moulded brick arches and hood moulds and round ashlar piers and the dark interior is significantly lightened in the chancel with a rendered finish. A similar finish is provided in the South chapel. The nave and aisle roofs have an exposed dark stained structure, which leads into a painted barrel ceiling in the chancel and South chapel. The floor is predominantly covered with encaustic red tiles with some stone used around the chancel steps. The church is furnished with dark stained fixed pine bench pews. There are further pine stalls, pulpit and a font with granite supports and a more modern timber cover.
