This photo was taken in 1995. Compare similar photo taken in 1963 on a sunny summer day with the doors shut in the Must See Tips at St. Peters

Church clock tower 1995

Clock tower on the church, with raised tomb/coffin on the top in front of it. Not the usual steeple.

Cedar wood interior of St. Peters

All of the woodwork in St. Peters is of cedar wood. It is very dark inside and difficult to take photos. This picture is of the stairs to the balcony.

Additional pictures of the interior as it was in 2004 are at a travelogue in St. George's Island
