List of new churches by George Gilbert Scott in the English Midlands facts for kids

George Gilbert Scott (1811–1878) was a famous English architect. He started his career in 1836 with William Bonython Moffatt. They first designed buildings called workhouses. Scott soon became very interested in the Gothic style, especially for churches.

In 1846, Scott started his own architecture business. He became known as a "church architect." He designed many new churches and helped restore old ones. He also designed monuments, public buildings, schools, shops, and houses.

This list shows some of the new churches Scott designed in the English Midlands. This includes the West Midlands and the East Midlands areas. This list is not complete, as some churches have been taken down over time.

Understanding Church Grades

Buildings in England are given special "grades" to show how important they are. This helps protect them for the future.
