Codrington College in St. John is one of the oldest Anglican theological colleges in the Western Hemisphere, founded in 1745 on an estate bequeathed by Christopher Codrington for the education of Anglican clergy. The striking limestone main building sits at the end of a dramatic avenue of royal palms, fronted by a lily-covered pool, with lush grounds opening onto sweeping east coast views of the Atlantic. The grounds are open to visitors from dawn to dusk, making it a peaceful stop on any east-coast drive through St. John.

About culture in Barbados

Barbados has over 400 years of recorded history, from Amerindian settlement through British colonialism to its 2021 transition to a republic. The UNESCO World Heritage Garrison Historic Area, Harrison's Cave, and St. Nicholas Abbey are must-visit cultural sites. The island's food culture, calypso music tradition, chattel house architecture, and rum heritage make it one of the most culturally rich islands in the Caribbean.
