Nave and chancel

The chancel was consecrated by the Bishop of Derby on 16 April 1898. [4] It was designed by George Frederick Bodley and erected at a cost of £2,000.

The Lady Chapel was intended to be built to the designs of Bodley, but Cecil Greenwood Hare designed a larger one which was built between 1914 and 1915. [5]

The church is located in the Meadows area of Nottingham.

The parish merged with that of St. John the Baptist's Church, Leenside, Nottingham when that church was demolished after damage during the Second World War.

Stained glass

The church is dominated by the west window containing St Michael and St George, which was designed in 1927 by Burlison and Grylls but not installed until 1938. The north aisle contains six windows each with an English saint, by Horace Turrell Hincks of Hincks and Burnell which were added between 1924 and 1934. The Lady Chapel windows are by Whitefriars and date from 1948 and 1949. [5]

Tradition

The parish of S George's is within the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham and has adopted resolutions A, B and C and, while taking part in the Christian life of the diocese, is under the spiritual guidance of the Bishop of Beverley.

The specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
