Bequia - St Mary's Anglican Church, Port Elizabeth

This beautiful old church was erected in 1829, replacing the older structure which was destroyed in a hurricane. Imported ballast bricks as well as local limestone were used in its construction, which may go some way towards explaining its cost, which at the time was recorded at some 4,700 pounds. The church's cool, simple interior contains many fascinating memorial tablets to some of Bequia's earliest settlers, as well as present day stained glass memorials to some of Bequia's illustrious and much loved residents.
