St George's with Trinity and St James Church (abbreviated to St George's) is a United Reformed church in the Ashbrooke area of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England.
Originally a Presbyterian church, it was constructed by John Bennie Wilson of Glasgow in 1888-90, to replace a former chapel on Villiers Street. Much of the funding was provided by a local shipowner, (later Sir) Robert Appleby Bartram, who laid the foundation stone on 7 February 1889. The church was constructed of red sandstone from Dumfries and modelled upon Crescent Church, Belfast.[1][2]
