St Peter's Church, Bermuda

The last full day we were in Bermuda we plucked up our courage and drove our little scooter all the way to the eastern tip of the island to see St. George's Parish. While there we saw St. Peter's Church....Wow.

The oldest parts of the structure date to 1620, and  it is believed to be the longest continuously used Anglican church in the Western Hemisphere.

I am sad to say that we were't able to tour the inside the day we were there. Even still, the outside of the building was so striking in its simplicity and beauty, especially against the intense blue of the sky, it made quite an impression on us.

The building is made from Limestone, and has Bermuda Cedar details like these lovely doors....

lamp posts, and rails....

Looking at these pictures just makes me happy.

Tomorrow I hope to post some pictures of cheerful houses with white roofs....
