Sunday morning, at a service, is when you can see the cedar interior; the church keeps no weekday visiting hours. Walk the graveyard first.

Visiting

Walk the graveyard before going in. Its hearse house, from 1817, matches the church and stands among old cedars and roses.

Inside, the pulpit, pews and altar screen are Bermuda cedar, the screen carved with a heart and lilies. The parish treasure is a silver plate dated 1590 and engraved with the Tudor rose, possibly older than anything else on the island. Ask the verger or a warden whether it is on show.

Know before you goSunday services are at 8am and 11am, except in July and August. There are no weekday visiting hours.
