About the Minster
The Parish Church of Doncaster St. George was granted the status of Minster Church by the Bishop of Sheffield on June 17th 2004.
Described by Sir John Betjeman as "Victorian Gothic at its very best", St George's was designed by distinguished architect Sir George Gilbert Scott.
Sir George Gilbert Scott's design replaced a 12th Century Norman style church that burnt down on the last day of February 1853.
The church re-opened in 1858, featuring many fine nineteenth century stained glass windows, a clock with the same designers as 'Big Ben' and an organ 'masterpiece' by Edmund Schulze.
The church maintains a tradition of music which extends beyond the 18th century and houses one of the finest Schulze Organs in existance. There is a programme of Organ Recitals throughout the summer which provides opportunities to hear this magnificent instrument.
Doncaster Minster is open to the public on Saturdays from 11:00 to 13:00 subject to availability of Stewards. If you could offer your services as a Steward we would be happy to talk to you.
