St. Georges Episcopal Anglican Church, Road Town
Saint George's Episcopal (Anglican) Church stands as a historic landmark, its imposing white fa莽ade with vibrant red trim evoking a sense of timeless grace.

Nestled slightly back from Main Street, Saint George's Episcopal Church is surrounded by a tranquil churchyard on all sides, creating an atmosphere of serenity and reverence. A white wall at the front of the church is adorned with a walkway and a staircase featuring striking red and white handrails. Thirteen steps lead visitors up to a grand portico at the entrance, welcoming parishioners and visitors alike into the sacred space within.
The architectural details of Saint George's Church are as enchanting as they are historic. The windows, adorned with pane glass and crowned with arched tops, exude a sense of timeless elegance. Each window is flanked by vibrant red shutters, adding a pop of color to the pristine white exterior. At the rear of the church, a magnificent bell tower rises three stories high, commanding attention with its graceful proportions and intricate detailing. The tower features sets of three pointed arch openings on all sides, allowing the gentle Caribbean breeze to flow through, while a crenulated rooftop adds a touch of medieval charm.
