St George's Church, Macclesfield

St George's Church is a neoclassical church building in Macclesfield constructed in the early 1800s with a rectangular floor plan. The structure features brick walls with stone trim, a Welsh slate roof, and a spacious U-shaped interior gallery supported by cast iron columns.

The church was built between 1822 and 1823 as an independent chapel. A chancel was added in 1834 when the building became part of the Church of England.

The church served as a venue for musical performances and drew audiences from across the region. Its spacious gallery allowed it to host concerts and community gatherings that brought people together.

The building is no longer in use as a church and has been converted into office spaces. Visitors should check beforehand if access is possible, as it is now a private office building.

The entrance is framed by four Tuscan columns that support a Venetian window above. The paired doors feature radial fanlights, creating an ornamental focal point that catches the eye.
