St George in the Meadows is a parish church in the Church of England in The Meadows, Nottingham, England.

The church is Grade II listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as it is a building of special architectural or historic interest.

History

The nave of the church was opened for worship in 1888 and was designed by Richard Charles Sutton. The chancel was added in 1897 designed by George Frederick Bodley and the Lady Chapel in 1911.

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.

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. This means that it trusts in the way God has revealed himself through the maleness of Jesus, the apostles and the apostolic succession and would not want to break or damage in any way the validity of the sacraments that come to us by this chain of God, Jesus, Apostle, Bishop, Priest.

Organ

The organ was built by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd in 1895 and the case was designed by George Frederick Bodley. The specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
