st. george's anglican church

Whenever I spot hapless tourists who have just tumbled out of a cruise ship I direct them to this church. The easiest way to get to it is... from the cruise ship mall turn to your right. Take the first street on your left (the only way you can go toward town). Go up this street past the RBTT (but good to know there is a bank machine if you need cash). Keep going and climb the stairs at the end of the street. If it is after 2:00 p.m. there are going to be a lot of school children coming down- fair warning. I can see this church from my house in Belmont and I always see it as a little beacons of hope. This is because the alter stood through the storm. It is amazing. They still conduct services in the small chapel which is open air. And the bell chimes every hour as if to proclaim "I'm still here. You can't stop me". Most people just walk past it, but if you go in it is beautiful and serene. Whenever I find myself up in that part of the city I always stop to take it in.Oh and from here you can walk down Market Hill (way better than walking up it) and into the market. When you leave the church head right and you will find Market Hill. If you keep going up the street you will find the Catholic Cathedral. If you go left and take the only right available you will go down and back up a hill that leads to Fort George.

Despite the best efforts of Hurricane Ivan, which pretty much destroyed this lovely old church - certainly it took the roof off and filled the nave with rubble - the clock tower survived (and the clock never stopped apparently) and the stained glass wall at the other end also remained intact.The church only has a tiny side chapel in operation and is still raising the money for the rebuild. Hopefully this can happen soon

The church stands out with its new large roof in all our picture of St George. It is beautiful from the outside, however we did not go in.

We popped into St George's church on a short tour of the town. Our guide had taken us up to the fort and then back through the streets explaining the history of the various churches and denominations. The Anglican Church is just a shell although still used in part I think for services. The most interesting part for us was reading the plaques on the walls and learning a bit about the people and their heritage.Worth a short visit as you tour the town and not too far up the many hills from the main street.

Is a cool place, but i didn't feel safe on St George's. People are lookig around for tourist to make them "a look of the city"... It's unconfortable...

Another location in the city of St. George that has tremendous views of the city. It is being used by local school as a place to teach I think.

The church remains as a ruined shell but the history of the island is written in the many memorial plaques around the internal walls. The tales of military battles, rebellions by the indigenous people, acts of bravery and philanthropy paint a picture of life in the 17th, 18th & 19th centuries. TIP - if you are taking a taxi into the town, ask to dropped off at either the RC Cathedral (just up th hill) of St. George's Anglican Cathedral. Then it's a downhill stroll to the rest of the town!

I rather stumbled upon this church while taking in the sites of St George's, and I'm glad I did. The church was built in 1825 and features several memorial plaques erected during that era. The roof of the church is gone due to Hurricane Ivan in 2004. I was mesmerized by the place and was there for over an hour taking photo after photo. Two small groups of school children from the neighboring school came in with their teachers and held class inside the church. I could easily close my eyes and take myself back in time and mentally visualize what it must have been like then. If you like history and/or old historical buildings/churches, don't skip this attraction.

My partner and I recently visited Grenada. We were taken to places of interest by a local Randy who obviously is very proud of his home country and was more than happy to take us on a tour of Grenada. The beautiful church was one of the sights he so wanted us to see. It had been damaged along with other buildings in the area due to an hurricane which had hit Grenada. As we walked into the building some locals were praying and even though it was badly damaged, you could still admire just how beautiful a place of worship it was and why Randy was so proud of the building and the history behind it. When we walked into the garden at the back of the church, I was in awe at the views of the harbour and Grenada, totally stunning. Well worth a visit.

The shell of the church remain, towering over the town centre and the Cerenage. In six years, the unsafe roof and gallery has been removed and, after several years, the remains of the storm damage and accumulated rubbish have been removed. Perhaps they lack the funds or had no insurance to do any repairs.Some of the memorial plaques on thye internal wallks make interesting reading with their accounts of deaths after naval skirmishes and native uprisings. The Catholic Church borrowed heavily to rebuld their cathedral a couple of hundred yards up the hill. The Anglicans are patiently waiting for God and providence!

During my visit, I roamed around the downtown/Carenage area and saw the gates open to the St. George's Anglican Church. I walked up to the church that was vacant and found myself taking an abundance amount of photos. It appeared that the church was still in use for worship each week, but I was never present to witness this. Seeing the structure still standing, without a roof, was a sight from what Hurricane Ivan did a few years back. Highly recommend stopping by to explore the grounds.

Even though hardly any of the original structure is still standing, it must have been beautiful before Hurricane Ivan. The stained glass and tiled floor were damaged, but pretty. It makes me very sad that they have no funds to rebuild.

We did the walking tour of St.George's which takes you to the church. Worth looking around and hope it gets restored at some time.

It is quite a climb, involving multiple steps, to reach this church, which is above the main market place. The church was partly destroyed (I believe by Hurricane Ivan) but still has a usable side chapel. Indeed, some schoolchildren were attending a service there when we visited. If you walk through the back of this chapel, you reach a garden that has a great view over the Carenage and harbour of St George's (see photo).

sad it hasn't been repaired yet, took some good photos, very atmospheric
