Church of St George the Martyr, Preston, Romanesque Revival church in central Preston, England
The Church of St George the Martyr stands with its sandstone ashlar walls, slate roofs, and a three-stage tower attached to the western end of the south aisle.
Originally constructed in 1725 as a chapel of ease to St John's Church, the building underwent major transformations in 1799 with enlargement and in 1843 with stone encasing.
The interior contains notable artistic elements, including paintings and stained glass windows created by Carl Almquist, along with a Henry Willis pipe organ from 1865.
The church maintains regular Anglican services under the deanery of Preston and operates in a united benefice with St John's Church to serve the local congregation.
The structure exhibits multiple fractures in its 1843 stone encasement caused by expanding iron cramps, leading to its current classification as a building in slow decay.
