ST PETER’S ANGLICAN

CHURCH, FALMOUTH

The Anglican Church of St Peter’s was built in 1795, which now makes it 210 years old. It is both the oldest church and public building in Falmouth. No doubt the church is the most impressive structure in Falmouth with a ceiling height of over 20 feet. The style of which the Church was built is also of the Georgian design. The bricks was said to have come from Liverpool in England. All the stones used are of local limestone. It is said that the clock was built for Falmouth, Cornwall, England, but found it's way here by mistake and never returned.

GEORGIAN DESIGN MAKES

THIS CHURCH SPECIAL!

The inside is a little different from most Jamaican Anglican Church's because of the position of the Aisles and Pews.
