St George's Church Simister
St George's Church, on Nutt Lane, a daughter church of SD8204 : St Margaret's Parish Church was opened on 14 October 1915. It was designed by R Basnett Preston in an unusual, austere, but very successful combination of Romanesque and vernacular revival styles; its austerity perhaps reflecting that it was begun and completed during the 1st World War. Prior to the building of St George’s the local people held services in the Simister Lane School, now The Lady Wilton Hall.

St George’s is a Grade II listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1350346 LinkExternal link ).
