St. George's Anglican

The St. George Anglican Church is so named because it was once the Parish Church of the former parish of St. George. In 1867, when Sir John Peter Grant (then Governor of the island), reduced the number of parishes from 22 to 14, St. George became part of the parish of Portland.

The Church, erected in 1814, is constructed of cut stone. The stones came from England as ballast in ships. Stained glass panel windows are used throughout the design. The entrance to the Church is through a solid raised paneled door, which forms the base of the tall castellated clock tower.
Not only is the Church among the many historical buildings found in the town of Buff Bay, but it is also the oldest building in the town.
