  Saint James Parish

  Located in Holetown, St. James Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in Barbados, dating back to 1628. Built on the island’s first consecrated land, it’s often referred to as “God’s acre.” The current coral-stone structure reflects a mix of Gothic architecture and colonial charm, complete with beautiful stained glass windows and a historic bell cast in 1696 by the same foundry that made Big Ben. The church grounds are peaceful and scenic, offering a quiet place for reflection near the coastline. Inside, you’ll find centuries-old memorials and artifacts that speak to the island’s deep colonial history. Still an active place of worship, this landmark is a must-visit for anyone interested in Barbados’ heritage, architecture, or simply looking for a serene stop along the island’s west coast.
