About this site
The Baptist Church in Savanna-la-Mar was erected in 1835. It was destroyed by fire on the 23rd November 1839 and rebuilt in 1840. The Church is very simple in architectural form with a rectangular floor plan. The facade is symmetrical with an arrangement of four pointed arch window openings in the form of a crucifix.
Two strategically placed projecting porches provide shelter for the entrances. There is an arrangement of five large pointed-arch windows on each side of the building. The roof is of a steep gable-ended construction.
