 Waterloo Church Chorley Thomas Rickman St George's History
As an architectural entity, St George's Church is important as a pure example of the work of Thomas Rickman, one of the greatest architects in English history.
Rickman, an eminent architectural scholar as well as practising exponent, divided ecclesiastical architecture into four periods or styles, Norman (1066 - 1200 AD), Early English (1200-1300), Decorated (1300 - 1380) and Perpendicular (1380 - 1600).
Chorley cemetery is now the burial ground of St George's parish, although ashes of the deceased continue to be buried in the church-yard.

It gains in beauty by being thrown back from the line of arches of the nave and by being supported along the front edge by light cast-iron pillars and cusped, segmented arches, ornamented with double quatrefoil feathering, and having in each spandril one quatrefoil and two trefoil openings.
St George's has a more youthful face than the originals and it is believed that the local monumental mason who produced it, Thomas Rawcliffe, used his young daughter as a model.
The font was given in memory of Alderman Thomas Whittle and Mrs Whittle, being completed in 1893.

 QELP Data Set 007
A famous contemporary of Rickman was Thomas Malthus, who published in 1798 his Essay on the Principle of Population as it affects the future improvement of society.
Thomas caused great concern when he stated that populations grow geometrically (exponentially) and food supplies grow arithmetically (linearly), suggesting that population has an inherent tendency to outstrip resources.
Thomas' alarmist view of the future caused many Englanders to accept the need for a census.

Rickman gives each of the characters his (or her) own separate voice, and manages to do so without forgetting how each should sound.
Rickman also actually sang the songs from the book (and not badly, either), adding another dimension.

Anthony Minghella’s “Play” attempts to compensate for the loss of the play’s interrogative spotlight with a drama of the camera’s focus and brief jump-cuts.
The talents of Alan Rickman, Juliet Stevenson and Kristen Scott-Thomas nevertheless conspire with Mr Minghella’s bravura film-making technique to crush the play’s humours.

1840-1892 and The Later Years of Thomas Hardy were at long last reprinted with reliable annotations that made available previously unpublished materials.
Moreover, the new biographical treatments, particularly those of Robert Gittings, Michael Millgate, and Frank Pinion, have added much to our understanding of Hardy the man, though many of the value judgments contained therein have led, perhaps inevitably, to controversy.
