Custodial history:
The foundation stone of St George's Church was laid in Jun 1891 to serve the Heap Bridge area as part of the parish of Heywood, St James until 1907 when it was consecrated on 25 Jul. By Order in Council of 27 Oct 1976 it was joined with Bury, St Thomas as the new parish of Bury, Christ the King with St Thomas' as parish church. In Jun 1977 the building was severely damaged by fire, 40% of the roof and the vestry and its contents including many records were destroyed. A repair fund was established to fund considerable conversion work on rebuilding, also financed by sale of the old Gore Street school and site.
