St George’s Windsor has a rich and varied history. The connection between the Royal Family and St George’s Chapel is a strong one. Members of the Royal Family have been baptised, married and buried in the Chapel.

St George's Chapel is located in the cemetery of Avdou, a village near the Aposelemis dam. The church dates from the 14th-15th centuries and preserves mural paintings by the brothers Emmanuel and Ioannis Fokas.

The remains of St George rounded chapel are in the Trinity Square of Veszprém, very close to St Michael's Cathedral.

St George's has changed little since 1763, when it was established in the immigrant neighbourhood of Whitechapel by German refugees seeking religious asylum in London and working mainly in the sugar trade.

A strong and magnificent pile which commands the attention of all judicious observers, especially the chancel end, which is truly magnificent (Grub Street Journal, 1734). Built and fitted out between 1714 and 1729, St George in the East was one of fifty new churches planned for London, although only twelve were completed.

The St George's Chapel which you see today is not the original chapel. Although there was a station church, the idea to create a more permanent memorial chapel at Biggin Hill emerged in 1943 when RAF personnel thought it would be appropriate to have a memorial to the increasing number of aircrew who were being killed on operations from within the Biggin Hill sector, remembering especially those who had died in the Battle of Britain.

St George the Conqueror is an Orthodox chapel-mausoleum designed by the architect Pencho Koichev, completed in 1907. It was built in memory of the Orthodox soldiers who died during the siege of Pleven in 1877 - 1878. The remains of many soldiers are buried in the crypt of the chapel. The iconostasis and icons are works of eminent artists, Ivan Murkvichka and Anton Mitov.

It's a strange name, St George's Tron. More reminiscent of legends about dragon slaying or cult science fiction films, than the name of a Presbyterian place of worship! So how did this imposing Church of Scotland building, displaying on its walls and its interior glass doors the motto of Glasgow, 'Let Glasgow flourish, through the preaching of the Word and the Praising of His Name!', come to get its name?

St George's Cathedral is the central building of the Vydubychi Monastery complex in Kiev. It is one of the best masterpieces of Ukrainian Baroque. The church was built in honour of St George at the expense of Colonel Mykhailo Myklashevsky between 1696 and 1701. In the following years, with the support of Danylo Apostol, a three-storey bell tower was built. During the Soviet regime, the cathedral was closed and in 1967 a fire completely destroyed the interior, including the frescoes. The monastery buildings were returned to the church in 1998.

The doors were first opened for consecration and divine worship on 10th July 1868. East Worthing was then an area consisting mainly of lush cattle pasture, orchards and smallholdings with property just being erected in Newland Road and Farncombe Road. The parish increased in size over the years but its pastoral areas were preserved until the 1914-18 war, after which the developers and builders really got going! Architecturally, St George???s is fascinating. It is one of the few churches to be built on a north-south axis instead of the more traditional east-west position. The large open area of the nave crowned by the arched trusses supporting such a large roof area is a feature of the church. With its closeness to the sea, (one of the main means of employment used to be fishing), the roof resembles the shape of an up-turned boat.
