About this Event
St. George's Church, Deal
Heritage Open Day: St George’s Church is a Grade II* listed Queen Anne structure. The interior includes the Mayor’s Gallery which retains many of its features such as the mace holder. The grounds contain a unique memorial to a friend of Admiral Nelson and a memorial to a recipient of the Victoria Cross.
The church was built as a chapel of ease to St Leonard’s in Upper Deal. Work commenced on the church in 1706 and was completed in 1716 with monies raised by a tax levied on coals brought into the port. In 1717, a gallery was added for use by the Mayor and Corporation, and a later gallery was built for the use of local boatmen and fishermen.
