Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity
CHURCH STREET, CITY OF HAMILTON The original Anglican Church, built where the Cathedral stands today, burned down in 1884. Work began on the present neoGothic structure the following year, and was completed in 1911. Built of Bermuda limestone and imported stone from Nova Scotia, Scotland, Indiana and France, the Cathedral was designed by the Scottish architect William Hay of Edinburgh. Visitors may climb the 155 stairs to the top of the 143-foot high tower for a spectacular panoramic view of the City of Hamilton and nearby parishes - there are a couple of spacious landings to take breaks.
6 MOONLIGHT LANE, COBBS HILL, WARWICK Cobbs Hill Methodist Church is part of Bermuda’s African Diaspora Heritage Trail, a designated part of the UNESCO Slave Route Project. Construction began on the church in 1825, by free men, women and slaves. They toiled in their spare time, mostly in the moonlight, cutting stone from nearby quarries and carrying it on their backs, shoulders and heads to build their church. The building was completed in 1827 and the bell in the tower was added soon after. Info: Sunday service is at 9.30 am. To make an appointment to view the church, contact 441-236-8586.
Info: The Cathedral is open Monday to Friday, 10 am - 4 pm, Saturday, 10 am - 2 pm. There is a fee of $2 to climb the tower. Sunday service is at 10 am.
