St George the Martyr is one of the ancient parishes of Southwark and probably the first church in London to be dedicated to St George. The earliest record of the church is an entry in the Annals of Bermondsey Priory, for the year 1122. The present structure was consecrated in 1736. The architect, John Price, did not live to see its completion. The church has a Georgian appearance. It suffered blast damage during the Second World War and a major restoration was carried out at the beginning of the 1950s https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20080809034155/http://www.stgeorgethemartyr.fsnet.co.uk:80/history.html http://www.stgeorge-themartyr.co.uk/history/
