The tower of St. George's church is situated on St. George’s Street inside the old town walls. It was the bell tower of the large and antique church of St. George the Martyr. The name of St. George refers to the construction of the church in the late 7th Century. So it could have been the very first church in this location. It also has remains of Norman work in the lower part of the tower and the west door. The destruction of St. George's occurred in June of 1942 during bombing raids. The demolitions were leveled and the clock was restored in the 1950s.
One of the things I like to see in St. George is St. Peter's Church. It is the oldest surviving Anglican church in continuous use outside the British Isles. It is also reportedly the oldest continuously used Protestant church in the New World. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
