St George's church in the Paddox area of Rugby is a striking example of postwar church architecture, having been built in 1961 by Denys Hinton Associates. The original 1930s building now serves as the church hall to which it is annexed by a porch. (this place holds memories for me, having grown up nearby and attended playschool at the church hall in 1976-7).
The interior is spacious and uncompromisingly modern, matching the simplicity of the exterior. The outstanding feature for me is the fine sculpted font by John Bridgeman, adorned with four stylised angel figures and standing in a watery mosaic, which extends through the glazing outdoors, from where the font uniquely also becomes a major feature externally..
