St Thomas Anglican, Trelawny

 

Here is an article that Paul Williams wrote about this church.  http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20140726/news/news5.htm

 

 

Leaving Webb Memorial Baptist, next on the list was to locate St Thomas Anglican.  As I turned the corner (don’t ask which one) I saw the church on my left and the buildings below on my right.  Off course I had to ask questions.  It turns out that this building was the original Police Station for Stewart Town and was built in 1841…if you look at the photograph of the front of the church, you will see the “Police Station” in the background to the right.

The small building before the “Police Station” was a jail house for men. The ruins across the road was for women.  The next building down, the ladies tell me was used to butcher meat.

It’s obvious this town is steeped in history and should form part of a tour for tourist, not only those visiting our island, but also for those who live here.  There is much more to see and I will definitely be back.
