Cottle Church


This past weekend, I took Bobby's 4-wheeler into the shop to get the tire fixed. After getting her all tuned up, I decided to traverse the island a bit, and test out the new tire. While cruising around, I ran across this little gem at the base of Mt. Nevis -- Cottle Church. According to one source, "The Cottle Church was opened to the public on May 5, 1824, and it was the first church on the island of Nevis which welcomed anyone to come and worship, including slaves." Now it is apparently preserved as part of the Nevis Heritage Trail, and can be enjoyed by visitors year round.
