Make sure you do a tour of the island and make this one of your stops. Lots of great history. This church was open to all people of the island.

There is lots of information to read about the history of the church and slavery. Anyone that is truly interested in the history of Nevis should visit this site!
Good signage at this ruin will tell you about the history. If you are going to Mount Nevis for a meal, it is worth a stop.
We loved Cottle Church. If you are following the Heritage Trail, this is worth the stop. The Church was the first on the island to accept people of all color. It has been lovingly preserved and is easy to get to.
This is a very unique historical place to visit while you are at Nevis. Take a hike with a group or rent a vehicle and bring your camera!
