Christ Church
About
Among Jamaica's churches, Christ Church (1840) stands on Antrim Rd in Kingston, the island's capital. The building dates to 1840 and carries the architectural character of Jamaica's older places of worship. Thirty-one reviews give it a 4.3 out of 5 average, a solid record for a historic church. Kingston sits on the south-eastern coast, with Spanish Town, the old capital, a short distance inland. The church belongs to Jamaica's stock of nineteenth-century religious buildings, raised during the island's plantation era. Sunday services and the surrounding streets of Kingston draw a steady flow of local worshippers and curious visitors. The dry season, roughly December to May, brings lower rainfall and steady trade winds, the most comfortable stretch for walking around Kingston. Getting to Antrim Rd is straightforward from central Kingston, and a few words of English go a long way with local directions. The church remains an active part of the capital's religious life and a landmark for anyone tracing Kingston's older architecture.
