Administrative history
The first St. George's was a log structure built in 1864. Sir Frederick Middleton laid the cornerstone for a new church and Bishop J. Travers Lewis consecrated St. George's Church and Burial Ground, Taylorville (later known as Hawthorne) on September 30, 1888. A rectory was purchased in 1904 which was later sold. In 1953, St. George's Church celebrated the 65th anniversary since its consecration. The church was inactive for two years and was reopened in December of 1974. The 100th anniversary was celebrated in October of 1988. In 1990, the cemetery was expanded. The final service for St. George's was held on May 11, 1997 and the church was closed in the summer of that year.
