St George's Church, Thornton Hough, Grade II* listed church in Thornton Hough, England.

The church features a cruciform plan with a five-bay nave, north and south transepts, and a tower at the crossing built from sandstone with stone-slate roofs.

Architect J. Lomax-Simpson designed and constructed the church between 1906 and 1907 for Lord Leverhulme, incorporating Neo-Norman architectural elements throughout the structure.

The interior contains stone capitals with biblical scenes crafted by sculptor Edward O. Griffith, along with a wooden altar rail carved by Hatch of Lancaster.

The church stands on Manor Road, featuring round-headed windows, paired gabled porches at the west end, and an octagonal stair turret connecting to the main tower.

The hexagonal covered entranceway at the southwest corner includes a ribbed dome with a central boss carving depicting a dragon.
