Description
Exterior photograph of Stirling Church, Jamaica. The stone building is partially hidden from view by palm trees. Stirling Church was built near the Cabaritta River and the nearest settlement was Morgan's bridge, named after the ex-buccaneer lieutenant-governor Sir Henry Morgan.
This Church was named Stirling Church after an estate owner of that name. The name also stems from Stirling in Scotland which adopted a special interest in the first missionary in charge of the station.
