... Lovely view of a small, very simple Anglican Church with a long history... the first Church build in the Western Hemisphere... established by Bermuda's first settlers, the Virginia Company in 1612... for over 400 years this has been the church of the town... it is a cultural and historic icon... a holy place at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the oldest Anglican church in continuous use outside the British Isles... but due to storms and a hurricane the church doesn’t look anything like the original building... in the 400 years since the church was founded, its undergone several renovations... Thanks a lot Denise! (•‿•)
