This church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and St George, and is one of many buildings in Kendal designed by George Webster. It was built between 1835 and 1837 in a neo-Gothic style, and replaced a house in Stramongate that had been used as a Catholic chapel. The statue of St George slaying the dragon over the doorway was by Thomas Duckett, and there are two more of his works inside the church - Ecce homo on the left and St George on the right as you enter.
