St James Parish Church Tickets & Tours

St James Parish Church, Jamaica is an eighteenth-century church in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was started in 1774 at a time when the town was increasing in importance as a center for trade and the number of merchants was growing. It was built as the principal Anglican church in St James Parish, in Cornwall County, Jamaica. The vestry of St James Parish built the church from ashlar, a building material that had become increasingly popular in England, and its use in this church reflected the cosmopolitan tastes of the mercantile elite responsible for its design.
