Burchell Memorial Baptist Church

Two blocks east of Sam Sharpe Sq is one of the churches in which Sam Sharpe is said to have been a deacon. The building, which dates to 1835, is a slice of British countryside architecture smoldering handsomely away in the tropical heat. The original church was founded in 1824 by Reverand Thomas Burchell and was under renovation at research time. Sharpe’s remains are buried in the vault.
