ST GEORGE IN THE EAST
St. George in the East is situated immediately east of
Whitechapel, between Stepney, Shadwell and Wapping. The church of St. George in the East
with its 160 ft tower, was built in 1714-29 to the designs of Nicholas Hawksmoor, and
created a seperate parish from
Stepney. In 1886 the churchyard
was landscaped as a public garden. The interior of the church was severely damaged by
incendiaries in May 1941, a tempory building serving the parish until being rebuilt in
1960.
