St George's Church is a Church of England parish church in Goodrington, Devon, England.[1] It was designed by Edward Maufe and built in 1938–39, with later additions.

History

Goodrington underwent major expansion during the early part of the 20th century, resulting in a small mission church being erected around 1930 as a temporary measure to provide much-needed church accommodation.[2] Later in February 1937, the vicar of Paignton, Rev. B. Montague Dale, launched an appeal to raise £10,000 for the construction of two new, permanent churches in his parish. It was intended to raise the sum over a period of five years, but the appeal successfully raised £5,000 in six months, allowing construction of a permanent church for Goodrington, St George's, to begin in 1938.[3][4]

The church was designed by Edward Maufe and cost £7,000 to build. The site was donated by Colonel H. Browse Scaife.[5] The original construction work of 1938–39 was made up of the tower, chancel and transepts.[6] St George's was consecrated by the Bishop of Exeter, the Right Rev. Charles Curzon, on 25 March 1939.[7] In 1957–62, the nave and sacristy were built according to a simplified version of Maufe's original drawings. A church hall and ancillary facilities were added in 1963–65.[4]
