The idea of building a small church at Langham, a hamlet to the west of Gillingham, originated with Mr. Alfred T. Manger of Stock Hill House, who was aware of the inconvenient distance of the parish church for residents of Langham and its surrounding farmhouses and dwellings.

[5] In accordance with his wishes, Mr. Manger was buried in a vault on the site of his intended church on 29 January 1917.

[6] With his death, the family of Mr. Manger announced their intention to build a church in his memory once World War I ended.

[6] The church, designed by the diocesan architect Charles Ponting, was built in 1921 over the tomb of Mr. Manger and his wife, who died in 1919.

[4] St George's is built of coursed and squared rubble stone, with a thatched roof and bellcote at the west end, containing one bell.
