Christ Church Vacation Guide
The current Christ Church Parish Church located in Oistins, Chirst Church, Barbados was built in 1935 and is the fourth Parish church on the site. At various times the previous structures have all been destroyed by natrual diasters including flood, fire or hurricanes.
The original Parich church structure was built in 1629 and was located near Dover Beach. In 1669 the church was destroyed by a flood, which caused the coffins and bones from the church's cemetery to become scattered across the beach.
The next church constructed was destroyed in the hurricane of 1780. Another Parish Church was built in 1786 and was again destroyed by the 1831 hurricane. The new church was then destroyed by fire in 1935.
Similar to the structure of the Church of England, the Christ Church Parish Church served as the main Parish church for the entire parish.
This Church is widely known for its churchyard which contains the notorious Chase Vault, in which coffins mysteriously have moved around within the sealed vault. A detailed investigation by the Governor of Barbados and members of his staff was made in 1820 but it offered no explanation and the coffins were eventually each buried separately after further recurrences. Today visitors are able to visit the vault at the church site.
