CARRINGTON: St. George (Church of England)

Church History

Built in 1759 as a chapelry in the parish of Bowdon: St. Mary, serving the townships of Carrington and Partington. In 1887 it became the district church for the township of Carrington (previously served by Bowdon: St. Mary). The boundaries of "The District Chapelry of Saint George Carrington" were described in the London Gazette on 27 September 1887:

"All that part of the said parish of Bowdon which is comprised within and is co-extensive with the limits of the township and chapelry of Carrington aforesaid"

The district was affected by the following boundary changes:

The church closed in 1990, but the churchyard remains open for burials.
