The parish church of St George is in Edgbaston close to Birmingham city centre. The church was built as a chapel of ease for St Bartholomew's church in Edgbaston in 1836-8. The church was built with a nave with two aisles. A chancel was added in 1856.
The church was transformed in 1884-5 with the building of a new larger nave, South aisle and chancel. The original nave became the North aisle, the original chancel became the lady chapel.
