Photograph likely taken by Arthur Green during his 1868 visit to Bermuda. The present church - which followed two earlier churches on the same property - was reportedly started in 1796 and underwent alterations and additions in 1834 and 1846. This c1868 photograph was taken shortly before the church was extensively remodeled and the steeple was replaced in 1872-1873. The then hearse house is seen in the right foreground, while the single overhead line was part of the then military telegraph system installed in the 1860's – this line had to be relocated c1887 when a new hearse house was constructed on the other (southern) side of the public road.

The 2000 Russian car was exceptionally large and, in a number of ways, resembled a Canadian Pacific Railway boxcar. It was unusually long - 43 feet - and had a carrying capacity of forty tons of grain. The knocked down cars were shipped to Vladivostock by ship from Pictou Landing. One vessel, carrying 175 cars, was torpedoed by a German submarinein the Mediterranean Sea. Eastern Car sent a supervisor to Vladivostock to oversee the assembly of the cars that was performed by Korean labour.
