Small little church in the largest town on the island. Only downside for a tourist is that there are limited hours for mass on Saturday and Sunday; it makes sense though since most locals are of different denominations. Find out about mass hours before heading over. If all else fails, there are 4 bars/restaurants on the beach a few hundred meters over. ;)

See the ruins of this church, otherwise known as St. Marks Chapel of Ease. Slaves and free men could once worship here together.

A quiet space of contemplation, and a lot of conflicting thoughts when reading through the information they provide on the builder and his history. The actual site is beautiful, and to read the names of the persons who were enslaved and built the church and worshipped there is extremely powerful. Highly recommend.

Take a tour of this ruined manor beside Mount Nevis.
Reviewed By 869williamp
The Mountravers ruins are now occupied by the Pinneys and no longer open to the public. However, the family does allow access through their property via the main access road, and to four historic dams on the property. Three of the dams can be accessed via a path just past the wooden gate that marks the western boundary of Mountravers Estate; and one dam can be accessed via a path just to the left of the the main entrance to Mountravers. The dams were built to supply water to the steam engines at Pinney’s Yard near the Manager’s House (further down the mountain, marked with a sign), with the first 10 HP non-condensing horizontal steam engine for milling sugar, and one engine for milling corn, ordered from George Latham & Co., London by Peter Thomas Huggins in 1820. Huggins’ father had purchased Mountravers from the Pinneys in 1815. The total cost of the order was £1,750, and records show that Huggins invested another £2,000 at his sugar works to accommodate the new technology. The sequence of dams served as a filtering system, with cast iron pipes leading from one to the next. A letter of 1825 complains of the corroding effect on the steam engines due to silt. These dams and steam engines were in continuous use until 1942, at which time sugar cultivation ceased on the Estate in favor of cotton and copra. The engines and boilers were sold off for scrap by Walter Wade soon after he purchased Pinney’s Estate in 1946.

A sacred and solemn site. The citizens of Nevis are to be commended for the preservation and recognition of this important place in history. It's amazing to learn about the impact and reach of the Jewish people from so long ago. Let us never forget. As always, enjoy life, live, love, eat, drink, and have fun!! :)
