Old Rectory
Constructed prior to 1700 by reformed pirate and slave trader George Dew, the Old Rectory is one of the oldest buildings in St George. It’s situated on Broad Alley, behind St Peter’s Church and is so named because it was subsequently the home of Pastor Alexander Richardson.
It’s a typical example of early Bermudian vernacular architecture. Built with limestone, the upper living level rests above a lower basement and is reached by an outside staircase. The gable ends are supported by large chimneys and the windows sit squarely against the eaves.
The Old Rectory is owned by the Bermuda National Trust and is leased as a private residence. It opens it doors to the public on Wednesday afternoons between November and March.
