St George's Church, Chorley, Gothic Revival church in Chorley, England
The stone church features a west tower with four stages, decorative pinnacles, and a tall lancet window above the main entrance point.
The church was constructed between 1825 and 1828 as part of the Million Act initiative to build new churches in industrial areas after the Napoleonic Wars.
Three galleries with cast iron pillars and decorated fronts surround the interior space, while a white marble font depicts an angel carrying a scalloped bowl.
Located on St George's Street, the church holds regular services under the deanery of Chorley and diocese of Blackburn, with space for 1,000 attendees.
The ceiling incorporates decorative hammerbeams crafted from cast iron, while the 1919 bell system operates through an Ellacombe Chime mechanism.
