Review:

Cottle Church is a small Anglican church north of Charlestown, built in 1824 by John Cottle, then a plantation owner and the President of Nevis. He wanted the church to serve as a place of worship for whites and slaves together. Unfortunately, it was illegal at the time for slaves to worship, so the church was never consecrated and was abandoned after John Cottle died. The ruins of the church, hidden in the forest, are today a tourist destination and a popular venue for weddings, although there is no much left but the outside walls, which do, however, provide an interesting glimpse into the history of the island.
