St. Peter’s Church

Completed by Christmas of 1612, it is the oldest Anglican church site in continuous use in the western hemisphere. Behind the south churchyard is the Old Rectory, built in the 18th century by pirate George Dew.

Unfinished Church

Construction of the church started in the 1870s when the magnificent Gothic structure was meant to replace St. Peter’s Church. Following a series of problems, including parish infighting, financial difficulties and a damaging storm, construction was abandoned on the eve of its completion. Today, the picturesque ruins are a protected historic monument and part of St. George’s World Heritage Site.
