 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. George
The narratives of the early pilgrims, Theodosius, Antoninus, and Arculphus, from the sixth to the eighth century, all speak of Lydda or Diospolis as the seat of the veneration of St. George, and as the resting-place of his remains (Geyer, "Itinera Hierosol.", 139, 176, 288).
Still less is St. George to be considered, as suggested by Gibbon, Vetter, and others, a legendary double of the disreputable bishop, George of Cappadocia, the Arian opponent of St. Athanasius.
The chapel dedicated to St. George in Windsor Caste was built to be the official sanctuary of the order, and a badge or jewel of St. George slaying the dragon was adopted as part of the insignia.

 George Orwell - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
George Orwell was the pen name of British author Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903–21 January 1950).
He chose a pen name that stressed his deep, lifelong affection for the English tradition and countryside: George is the patron saint of England (and George V was monarch at the time), while the River Orwell in Suffolk was one of his most beloved English sites.
Although George Orwell grew up in the relative comfort of the English middle class, his socialist convictions and general sense of fairness led him to hate his country's deeply ingrained class structure.

 St. George: England's Patron Saint
According to the apocryphal Acts of St George current in various versions in the Eastern Church from the fifth century, George held the rank of tribune in the Roman army and was beheaded by Diocletian for protesting against the Emperor's persecution of Christians.
The banner of St George, the red cross of a martyr on a white background, was adopted for the uniform of English soldiers possibly in the reign of Richard 1, and later became the flag of England and the White Ensign of the Royal Navy.
St George is also, of course, venerated in the Church of England, by the Orthodox churches and by the Churches of the Near East and Ethiopia.

 Utah History To Go - St George   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
George, the county seat of Washington County, is the largest of all the towns founded during the LDS Church's Cotton Mission of 1861.
George itself was named in honor of George A. Smith, who, although he did not participate in the town's settlement, had personally selected most of the company of the pioneers of 1861.
Since the 1960s, St. George has continued to grow as a retirement location and as a haven for "snowbirds" seeking to escape from the colder winters in the rest of the state.

 St. George
George was martyred at Lydda in Palestina, probably before the time of Constantine.
George, it says, a Christian knight, came to the city of Sylene in Lybia, which was being persecuted by a terrible dragon; and the people had been reduced to supplying it with prey from among their own company.
On this occasion the king's daughter herself had to go forth, but George attacked and subdued the monster, and the princess led it back to the city with her own girdle round its neck.

Then while traveling home from work one evening on the Docklands Light Railway, I was watching the tower of St George's-in-the-East go by, and realized that, with the possible exception of one or two pubs, it was the only building in the area with any architectural merit.
The area around St George's was badly damaged during WW2 and consist mainly of ugly 1960's Council Flats.
And it is true of many areas of London, both those like Stepney that were damaged during the war, and those outer suburbs that are little more than row after row of "Little Boxes", (as Pete Seeger so aptly put it), that often the only buildings of any interest are the pubs and the churches.
