There used to be access to St George's from the top end of Tower Street but the gate into the churchyard is locked. The land adjacent to Church View is now used by the next door primary school for recreational purposes and all public access is cut off.
St George's Church, Hyde
Prior to 1831, the Church of England had no place of worship in the township, and for ecclesiastical purposes Hyde was connected with the Parish Church of Stockport, which place many of the inhabitants attended. Others worshipped at Mottram, or at Denton Old Church.
The construction of the church began in 1831 and it was consecrated the following year. St. George's was first formed into an ecclesiastical parish in 1843.
