St George the Martyr Wolverton - Britain's First Railway Church
Heritage Open Day: Come and enjoy this Victorian Grade 2 * listed church, built in 1844. A very warm welcome to all our visitors. The building of St George’s was funded by the Radcliffe Trust, but the church also benefitted from significant financial, technical and volunteer support from the London & Birmingham Railway Company and its successors. It was the first church specifically built to serve the staff of a railway company.
The architects for the original church were David Brandon and Thomas Henry Wyatt; a partnership that existed between 1838 and 1851. Construction of St George’s was undertaken by Grissell & Peto; at that time the largest construction company in the world.
