St. Mary's Church
The Rev. Richard Alleyne, D.D., was appointed rector here in 1605 and remained until he retired. His children were born and christened in the church, and his son Reynold left Stowting for Barbados in 1630. St. Mary's is the place where it all began for the Alleyne family of Barbados.
St. Nicholas Abbey
This Jacobean mansion was built by Col. Benjamin Berringer in the mid-1600s. Sir John Gay Alleyne acquired the home after his marriage to Christian Dottin in 1746 and lived there until his death in 1801, after which it returned to his late wife's family. Today the house, in remarkably good repair, is owned by Larry Warren and operated as a museum.
Alleynedale Hall
Originally owned by the Terrill family and known as "Cabbage Tree" Hall, after the cabbage trees (royal palms) that lined the entrance way. Sir Reynold Abel Alleyne bought the estate in 1810 and lived there until he returned to England. Today this once-great mansion is derelict, but is being restored by its present owner.
St. James Parish Church
Built in 1847, and the oldest church on the island. Alleynes have been baptised, married and buried here since the early 1700s, and still mark those events at St. James today. A walled family burial plot sits in the north-east corner of the grounds, and several plaques to Alleynes of yesteryear are mounted on the walls inside.
St. Lucy Parish Church
Sir Reynold Abel and his family were parishioners here, and a plaque to his memory hangs in the nave. In more recent times the family of Henry Alleyne attended this church, and a number of them are buried just outside the altar on the north side. The Rev. Herbert Milton Decourcy Alleyne was rector here for twenty years, from 1929 to 1949.
Porters Plantation & Great House
Porters was the home of John Forster Alleyne and later his son Charles Thomas — a very large plantation. Thomas Harbin Alleyne lived at Alleyne Cottage, believed to have been located on the Porters property. Many Alleynes of the time were born and married at Porters.
The Dorothy Quincy Homestead
Built by Edmund Quincy. When the house came up for sale in 1769, Mary Alleyne, then widowed, bought it along with 400 acres of land for her family. The Alleynes lived there for eighteen years until Mary's death, after which her son Thomas sold the property. Today it is a museum operated by the Massachusetts Society of Colonial Dames.
