Royal Gazette: Conserving a cultural icon
At the heart of the Unesco World Heritage Site in the Town of St George stands a building that quietly tells the story of Bermuda itself. St Peter’s Church, Their Majesties Chappell, is more than an historic landmark — it is a living record of the island’s past and an enduring symbol of the community that has grown around it for more than four centuries.
Recognised for its exceptional architecture and craftsmanship, St Peter’s Church reflects key phases of Bermuda’s history and holds outstanding universal value. Preserving such a site is not simply about protecting a building; it is about safeguarding the stories, traditions, and shared identity that shape our island.
This is the mission that guides the work of The Friends of St Peter’s Church.
For our organisation, preservation is both a responsibility and a privilege. St Peter’s stands as a tangible link to Bermuda’s past, offering residents and visitors alike an opportunity to experience history where it happened. Maintaining the church ensures that future generations will continue to learn from and connect with this remarkable place.
