In case you're wondering, this video provides a quick glimpse of the St. Peter's church in Bermuda. It is the oldest Anglican Church outside the British Isles and the oldest Protestant church in continuous use in the New World. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, St. George's Town is the oldest surviving English settlement in the New World, having been settled by the Virginia Company in 1612.
The church was established immediately after the founding of the settlement, although the original building, fashioned from wood with a thatched roof, was quickly destroyed. Bermuda is famously stormy, and it was necessary to rebuild the church more than once over the following century, the final structure being of limestone walls, with a limestone slate roof lain on a framework of Bermuda cedar. The oldest parts of the current structure date to 1620, though the building has been much expanded and improved since.
The church's interior is simple, but beautiful, with exposed cedar beams. The font of the church is 500 years old, older than the settlement of Bermuda. The walls of the church have commemorative plaques on the inside, and there are gravestones set in the outsides.
