You can literally touch history in this downtown church, some of whose pews and rafters come from the ship that first brought 550 Maroons – former Jamaican slaves – from Nova Scotia at the end of the eighteenth century. The church was built around 1820, making it one of Freetown’s oldest. It is pretty, petite and very welcoming. This charming church is a modest white structure surrounded by a low white wall. Visitors can join choir practice on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Recently the church celebrated its 200th anniversary.
