George Green is buried in the family grave in the north east corner of St Stephens churchyard, just across the road from Green's Mill and car park. He lies with his parents and younger son, John Green, who died in 1852. Adjoining is the grave of his common-law wife, Jane Smith, buried as Jane Green, who died in 1877, following the burials of her daughter, Catherine, and George Green, Green's elder son, who committed suicide in 1871.

There is a commemorative plaque to Green in St Stephen's church, dedicated during the celebrations of the bicentenary of Green's birth in 1993. The church holds the burial register recording Green's death in 1841, as well as the marriage register of D H Lawrence's parents and the birth register of William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. William Booth was born in No 11 Notintone Place, which is now a Salvation Army museum and sited almost opposite St Stephen's, and opposite no 3, a similar house since demolished, where Green died, nursed by Jane Smith.

The three-faced clock in the tower of St Stephens was donated by the Misses Eliza and Marion Tomlin, Green's nieces, as also was the lectern beneath the plaque in the church, which was dedicated to their parents, Ann, Green's sister, and William Tomlin, his cousin and brother-in-law.

The church of St Stephens is the fourth on this site. Green donated £10 in 1839, the year he became a Fellow of Caius College, towards the building of the third church and his father had been churchwarden of the previous one.

The present building is one of the finest churches in Nottingham and while retaining the 1839 tower is, in essence, the work of Bodley and Hare, who supervised its rebuilding in 1909. It contains the mediaevel choir stalls from St Mary's, the mother church of Nottingham, and many rich furnishings in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.

The large mid-Victorian vicarage in Windmill Lane faces the church, next to the Green's Mill Car Park; the present incumbent is Revd Michael Thompson; tel 0115 958 0508.

A sermon about Green was given by Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne FRS at St Stephens on the bicentenial of Green's birth in 1993.
