St. George's Church, built in 1829 with a loan from the Board of First Fruits, is a fine example of nineteenth-century ecclesiastical architecture. Well-executed stone dressings, cast-iron fittings and stained glass windows add artistic interest to the site. The location of the church on the site of its demolished late-seventeenth century predecessor is archaeologically interesting. The setting of St. George's Church is enhanced by its collection of carved grave markers and substantial mausolea, and is completed by the wall, piers and gates.
