St. Georges Episcopal Anglican Church, Road Town

As you walk along Main Street, you’ll see Saint George’s Episcopal (Anglican) Church set slightly back from the road. Its bright white façade with bold red trim catches the eye immediately. This church has deep roots in the island’s history — the original structure dates back to the 18th century, and the building you see today was rebuilt in 1819 after a powerful hurricane.

Stepping closer you’ll find a peaceful churchyard surrounding the building on all sides, giving it a quiet, reflective atmosphere. Take a moment to notice the white front wall — it includes a walkway and a staircase with distinctive red and white handrails. You’ll climb thirteen steps before reaching the grand portico that leads you inside.
Before you head in, don’t miss the beautiful architectural details. Along the sides of the church, you’ll see tall pane-glass windows with arched tops, each framed by bright red shutters that stand out against the white exterior. These classic features give the building a warm and welcoming feel.

Now, if you look toward the rear of the church, you’ll find one of its most impressive elements: the three-story bell tower. You’ll see sets of three pointed arch openings on every side, allowing the Caribbean breeze to flow right through the structure. And be sure to look all the way up — the tower is topped with a charming crenulated roof, adding a touch of old-world character to this historic landmark.

Take your time exploring the grounds and appreciating the craftsmanship here, as Saint George’s remains one of Road Town’s most enduring symbols of faith and tradition.
