St. Mary's Church was built in 1825 on the site of the original St. Michael's Church. It is believed to be the oldest consecrated ground in the island, or second to St. James' Parish Church. It was consecrated by Bishop William Hart Coleridge on July 27, 1827. The Chancel was added in 1894.
The Church contains one or two delightful memorial tablets of the Regency period and an elaborate Font, given by John Montefiore, a Jewish Merchant, in 1863.
It is surrounded by an historic cemetery with old headstones and tall trees.
