St George's Roman Catholic Church, York

The churchyard may still be seen opposite the present Catholic church and is the supposed burial place of Dick Turpin, the notorious 18th-century highwayman.

This was to replace a brick chapel that was situated in Little Blake Street (now Duncombe Place).

St George's was chiefly built to serve the immigrant Irish Catholic population of Walmgate.

Another notable feature is the Rood Screen, a fine wood carving of Flemish work now positioned over the sacristy door.

The East Window is based upon a Pugin design and the memorial windows of the Lady Chapel were made & decorated by the Barrett family, and financed by the Palmes family of Naburn, the Dolmans of Pocklington and the Coxes of Herefordshire.
