St. George's Parochial Chapel, in Chapel Street, is externally an unadorned stone building. The interior is fitted up in a neat style, with commodious galleries on three sides, a singing gallery, and an organ. The incumbent, who is a perpetual curate, is appointed by the vicar of St. Andrew's Plymouth, which is the mother church. The present chapel was erected in 1789 [on the site of the ancient Stonehouse Chapel], and is surrounded by the burying-ground.

In the will of Philip Madge (1790-1), he left detailed burial instructions: "If I die in or near Plymouth, then to be buried in Stonehouse Chapel Yard with my late dear wife and late Lucy Truesdale Lindsay, in the vault built there at my own expence and the ground purchased as my own property."
In Francis Lindsay's will, he directed that he be buried in his private vault at East Stonehouse Chapel. His burial record is found in the "East Stonehouse" parish registers.
