Archaeological excavations uncover hidden burials in Bermuda's oldest Anglican church, revealing colonial history.
In 2008 archaeologists from Boston University and the Bermuda National Trust were invited by St Peter’s church, in St George’s Bermuda, to initiate a study of the English colonial world’s oldest continually used Anglican church. Their initial goals included a survey of the churchyard and several crawl spaces just below the building’s floorboards. While their research was aimed at uncovering the below ground architectural history and phasing of the site, their work soon led them to the discovery of two forgotten burials, hidden away below the main aisle of the church.
