St. George's Church is a historic Episcopal church on VA 178, northeast of the junction with VA 180 in Pungoteague, Accomack County, Virginia. The original structure is thought to have been built in 1738 in the form of a Latin cross. It was abandoned during the War of 1812, restored to use seven years later and used until the American Civil War. All but destroyed by Union troops, it was in ruin until 1880, when parts of the transepts were renovated to serve as the main body of the current church. The current church is a brick structure measuring 57 feet, 3 inches, by 25 feet, 3 inches. It is topped by a gable roof with a simple bell tower and is in a simple Greek Revival style.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
