"Designated as a key reason St. George’s earned UNESCO status, I found this church—originally built the same year the town was founded—to be a fascinating mix of surviving 17th-century elements and later architectural updates; much of the original was destroyed by a hurricane, but you can still see a hand-carved triple-tier wooden pulpit from 1660, communion silver from the 1600s, and a baptismal font estimated to be 900 years old, all of which underline its claim as the oldest Anglican place of worship outside the British Isles." - Katherine Cusumano, David LaHuta
