Overview

The town of St. George does (or certainly used to) fly the St. George's Cross flag. Whether it is the official flag of the town, I don't know, but it is certainly regularly flown above the main buildings of the town (St Peter's Church and Fort St. Catherine). Sadly it is many years since I've been there, so I can't confirm whether this is still the case.

I believe that it is or was the custom to fly the Cross of St George over all cathedrals and parish churches in England. If that is so, that might explain the Cross of St. George over St Peter's Church. I don't know about the Fort though - maybe because it was named after a saint?

There are nine parish coats of arms and two municipality ones, for the town of St. George's and the city of Hamilton. "Somers" is the arms of Sir George Somers, also used as the arms of St. George's Parish. However, it is not the arms of St. George's town, which are those shown on the stamp (and at www.bermuda-online.org/seetown.htm).

The flag of the Town of St. George is a banner of the shield of the arms. The "ocean waves begin at the bottom and the white "sky" finishes the top. The cross of St George is rounded as per the arms through the centre.

The flag of that town is in fact a banner of the arms, as it can be seen on the photo: at www.photononstop.com. The flag flies here on the town hall.

Gift Shop Flag in St. Georges

      images located by Bishop Lamoureux, 04 September 2014

The original poster, Imnimo, said "I saw this flag flying outside a gift shop in St. George's, Bermuda. It's a bit hard to see because it's wrapped around the pole, but it looks like it's the same as the coat of arms painted on the side of the building. After a bunch of Googling, I haven't been able to find it anywhere - is this just a random family crest in flag form, or is there more too this flag? As far as I can tell, it isn't the flag of any Bermuda municipality."
