Background
History
The church was built by Isaac Shaw in 1757–59 for Mary, Countess of Stamford as a chapel of ease to serve the hamlets of Partington and Carrington. A chancel was added in 1872. St George's was vested in the Trust on 1 March 1990. The vicar of St Mary's, Partington and Carrington is responsible for the churchyard. Clearance work in 2008 uncovered the graves of two soldiers who had died during the First World War.
Architecture
The church is built in brick with a stone slate roof. The plan consists of a four-bay nave with a small chancel. Each bay has a round-arched window. The chancel has a Venetian window and a hipped roof. Formerly a cupola was on the west end but this has been removed. The font is based on a marble wash bowl. The wooden reredos dates from around 1872.
