St George the Martyr, Anglican church in Borough district, London, England
The red brick structure features Portland stone dressings, a prominent spire with a weather vane, and Ionic columns supporting interior galleries.
The original church from 1122 was given to Bermondsey Abbey by Thomas of Ardern, with the current building constructed between 1734 and 1736.
Charles Dickens incorporated the church into his novel Little Dorrit, as his father was imprisoned in the adjacent Marshalsea prison.
Located at Borough High Street SE1 1JD, the Grade II listed church provides regular worship services under the Diocese of Southwark.
Henry V received a welcome ceremony on the church steps in 1415 after the Battle of Agincourt, marking the first use of Saint George's Cross.
