by lostinthetriangle ""Unfinished" Church St. George's Bermuda These ruins are a protected historic monument and part of the St. George's World Heritage Site. Work commenced on this intended replacement for St Peter’s Church in 1874 but bickering within the Anglican community coupled with severe storm damage caused the project to be abandoned. My Primary School was located next door, I remember a hurricane in the early 70's that ripped off what little of the roof remained. As the structure is made of soft Bermuda stone, left to the elements, time, wind, rain and Hurricanes had caused a lot of damage. The National Trust hired a stone mason in the 90's to do extensive work on the property just to prevent further damage and erosion."
