About
St George's is listed as one of the more substantial and individual Anglican churches of the Rhondda and with an imposing tower, and as a good example of the work of Halliday.
It is a Gothic style Grade 2 listed building built1895-6 by G E Halliday.
The church has a tremendous reredos and also, at the back of church, a full immersion baptistry, one of only four, we believe, in an Anglican Church in Wales.
It has an open timber hammer beam-type roof. Chancel fittings include a pink alabaster reredos by Halliday and carved by Clarke of Llandaff and an unusual corner piscina in South East window splay.
​
The Welsh slate roof has crucifix finials and the South West porch has a four-centred arched doorway with decorative spandrels and later metal gates; above is a small moulded niche with a freestanding figure of St George under a false half-gabled coping.
