This Chapel of Ease, located in the parish of St. Thomas on the island of Barbados, was built at a cost of approximately one thousand, three hundred and thirty three pounds (£1333), six hundred pounds (£600) of which was donated by Bishop Coleridge himself. The chapel was erected to replace a previous chapel destroyed by the great hurricane of 1780 that ravaged the island. It was built on part of the Glebe Land in St. Thomas. The cornerstone for the beautifully constructed chapel was laid by Archdeacon Thomas Parry on 19th August, 1838 and it was consecrated on December 28th, 1839. The Chapel's architectural features are more Georgian than Gothic, featuring large round windows and twin column porches. The chapel once boasted elegant wooden columns that supported the galleries which showed off the exquisitely turned balusters in the rails. Sadly all evidence of the excellent Barbadian joinery on display in the chapel has long since disappeared. Extensive termite damage has necessitated the stripping out of all or most of the old woodwork. Holy Innocents chapel, nestled within the serene hills and fields of St. Thomas, is just another example of the beautiful architecture that is a feature of the charming churches sited on the scenic island of Barbados.
