St Barnabas Anglican Church

Antigua


Passing through the village of Liberta en route to English Harbour, this quaint little church on a hill is worth a quick stop. It was built as a school in the early 19th century and converted into a church after an 1843 earthquake destroyed the nearby mother church in Falmouth. It's especially noteworthy for the local green-shimmering limestone used in its construction.

Soak up its long history by poking around the overgrown churchyard, which has some interesting colonial-era gravestones. Charles Pitt, the brother of the English prime minister William Pitt, was buried here in 1780.
