Erected in 1825, St George’s is topped by a squat four-sided clock tower that serves as the town's timepiece, and which didn't cease to work when the building was heavily damaged in the 2004 hurricane. Repairs to the structure are now complete, with the church boasting a wonderfully crafted new wooden ceiling and gallery.
