Built 1721-24 to the designs of John James, as one of the Fifty Churches projected by Queen Anne's Act of 1711, at a cost of £10,000. The reredos, from the workshop of Grinling Gibbons, frame 'The Last Supper', painted by William Kent in 1724. The windows above contain early 16th-century Flemish glass from Antwerp. Handel was a regular worshipper, and many famous people have been married at St George's.
