St. John's Church

This church is in the parish of St. John, at the end of the road and just over a cliff. There is a viewpoint from which there are spectacular views of the eastern part of the island, the lush vegetation and the Caribbean. The church was originally constructed in the seventeenth century, but was rebuilt several times after a fire and a hurricane destroyed it. It has a large tower and stained glass windows in a Gothic style. The highlight of the interior is the carved cedar wood in the pulpit, the benches, and the spiral staircase which leads to the choir area. The huge organ is a real antique, beautifully preserved in Barbados.
