St George’s Square is to the north of the city centre and this attractive church lies at its east end. Designed by Sir George Aston Webb it was built in 1894/95 to replace an earlier church of 1830. Said to be Aston Webb’s finest church it was constructed in the Arts and Crafts style using red brick with stone bands and has a spacious interior with a fine organ case and stained glass by Kempe.
