Abstract
In 2008, excavations under the floorboards of St Peter's Church in St George's, Bermuda, unexpectedly uncovered the interment of George James Bruere, Governor of Bermuda from 1764 until his death in 1780. While no plaque or monument to his life survives in the church, this paper discusses the discovery of the Governor's remains, and builds a social and political context for the events leading up to his death. An examination of this particular interment follows, placing it within the context of burial practices at St Peter's Church and the Bermuda colony.
