In 1899, George published his first catalogue documenting more than one thousand paintings of Sussex Parish Churches.

I discovered the catalogue from a WorldCat search almost a decade ago—and had been searching for a copy of it since. Finally in early 2023, I sourced a photocopy of an original at the West Sussex Records Office.

To support my research, I decided to recreate the original Catalogue using modern technology.  This new edition would be digitally searchable, and I could carry a printed copy with me upon my excursions.  As the irony of fate would have it, I discovered—and was able to acquire—an original edition the very night I finished typing my facsimile!

Regardless, I resolved to complete the exercise, so that others could benefit from further copies of George’s Catalogue, which can be downloaded below.

To every extent possible, I have remained true to the original typesetting—including the replication of a few minor errors present in the original printing.
