Goodrington underwent major expansion during the early part of the 20th century, resulting in a small mission church being erected around 1930 as a temporary measure to provide much-needed church accommodation.

B. Montague Dale, launched an appeal to raise £10,000 for the construction of two new, permanent churches in his parish.

It was intended to raise the sum over a period of five years, but the appeal successfully raised £5,000 in six months, allowing construction of a permanent church for Goodrington, St George's, to begin in 1938.

[5] The original construction work of 1938–39 was made up of the tower, chancel and transepts.

[7] In 1957–62, the nave and sacristy were built according to a simplified version of Maufe's original drawings.
