This is one of the oldest and amongst the oldest church of Barbados. Its construction dates back to the year of 1847. Just like the Liberty Bell of America, this church also has a bell in the southern porch. This bell carries inscriptions.

The church we see now on the site is the fourth church that was made in quick succession. The rest three churches were destroyed by some kind of natural calamities.
