St George’s Anglican Church

St George’s Anglican Church is defined by its four-level, octagonal sandstone tower, a prominent structure that rises above the neighborhood from what was once known as Kermode’s Hill. When the church was built in the late eighteen thirties, this elevation allowed the tower to serve as a vital navigational beacon for ships moving through the Derwent River. Its design deviates from the typical Gothic style of the era, leaning instead into Neo-Classical forms influenced by the Temple of the Winds in Athens.
