Christ Church
Presbyterian Church of Scotland
With all the beautiful bays and vistas on South Road, it certainly is a fantastic drive. However, Bermuda’s Middle Road should not be overlooked.
On my motor scooter, tooling along Middle Road toward Somerset, I almost missed Christ Church in Warwick Parish. With brakes locked up, gravel beneath my 10″ wheels, and clouds of shrapnel embedded dust, I slid to a dramatic stop directly in front the church sign.
The original Christ Church was built in 1719. With three hundred years of history, Christ church has a long Presbyterian tradition on Bermuda and its cemetery shows the traditional way the church family cares for those who have passed on. The cemetery contains over three hundred grave sites. Many of these sites are several hundred years old. A brief walk through the cemetery shows traditional style grave site construction.
