St. Georges is a civil parish and village in the unitary authority of North Somerset. Its population in the 2001 census was 1,214.
The parish is a modern creation, the area having previously been part of the parish of Banwell.
The area has seen much new housing development in recent years, an extension of the development of the neighbouring North Worle area, although the village itself remains separate from the new development.
The parish is in the unitary authority ward of Banwell & Winscombe, and in the parliamentary constituency of Weston-super-Mare.
Transport
The village is close to junction 21 of the M5 motorway.
A railway station at St Georges was opened by the Bristol and Exeter Railway on 14 June 1841. It was initially named "Banwell", but was renamed "Worle" when a new Banwell railway station was opened on the Cheddar Valley Railway on 3 August 1869. A Worle station was opened on the new Weston Loop Line on 1 March 1884, after which the sttaion was renamed "Puxton". Following the closure of Worle, the station at St Georges became "Puxton and Worle" on 2 January 1922. It closed on 6 April 1964. The present day Worle railway station, opened 24 September 1990, is only a short distance from the village.
