Appropriately located on Church Street, the Bermuda Cathedral is a neo-Gothic Anglican church designed by Scottish architect William Hay. Work began in 1886 and was completed in 1911. Much of the building is constructed from Bermuda limestone, although the decorative features are carved from Caen stone, imported from France.
Entrance to the cathedral is free, but for $3 and a bit of sweat, you can climb to the top of the impressive spire for an unequalled view of the city of Hamilton.

In May, is the Sunday morning 10 o’clock service a choral one? My father was the organist there in 1959-61.
