St. George’s By the River is architecturally significant for its representation of a Gothic Revival style Church executed in the style of a rural English parish church, a design advocated by Anglican reformers in the mid 19^th century.   Organized by families who owned summer homes in Rumson when still a resort town, the church is also significant in the area of community development.

The matching grant will help fund a preservation plan.  The plan will address structural and exterior concerns to guide the church’s restoration.
