Cottle Church
Thomas Cottle, President of Nevis and owner of the Round Hill estate, built this chapel in 1824 so that his family and slaves could pray together. Because integrated worship was frowned upon by the Anglican Church at that time, Cottle's chapel was rarely used. In disrepair, the church was reduced to a ruin during an earthquake in 1974.
