    Tips

    March 20, 2024

    The beautiful Gothic-inspired church is quite an appealing historic landmark for both locals and tourists. The history of this church includes its connection with Istanbul ( Constantinople at the time) This connection was strong since it is the final resting place of Ferdinando Paleologus, who was the last descendant of the second brother of Constantine, the last Christian Emperor of Constantinople. At the rear of the church’s cemetery, you would be able to find Paleologus’s tomb which is marked by a granite tombstone.

    Ferdinando was very active in Barbados,  his newly adopted home. In addition to being a planter in St.John on his plantation (Clifton Hall), he was also a warden at the parish church. Paleologus was a hard worker and history recalls that he met his death in the 1831 hurricane.
