St. John's Figtree Church
Among the records of this church built in 1680 is a tattered, prominently displayed marriage certificate that reads "Horatio Nelson, Esquire, to Frances Nisbet, Widow, on March 11, 1787."
2 Best Sights in Nevis, St. Kitts and Nevis
Nevis's Main Road makes a 21-mile (32-km) circuit through the five parishes; various offshoots of the road wind into the mountains. You can tour Charlestown, the capital, in a half hour or so, but you'll need three to four hours to explore the entire island.
St. Thomas Anglican Church
The island's oldest church was built in 1643 and has been altered many times over the years. The gravestones in the old churchyard have stories to tell, and the church itself contains poignant embedded crypts and memorials to Nevis's early settlers. The prospects over the sea are so lovely that this site has become an unexpected if somewhat macabre picnic spot.
