Christ Church Parish Church Barbados
Christ Church Parish Church is located in Oistins Christ Church. Although the present church was built in 1935 it is the fourth on the site-the previous ones being destroyed by hurricane , fire or flood. The first church was a wooden structure built in another location near Dover Christ Church around 1629 . It was destroyed by a 1669 flood . The second church was destroyed by a hurricane in 1870, was in the same location overlooking Oistins . A third church built after 1786 , also suffered the same fate in 1831. Construction of the fourth church began in 1835 with the corner stone being laid by the Bishop of the Diocese. Sadly, whilst preparations were in progress to celebrate the 100th anniversary of that building , a fire would cause its demise again . Today the fifth building stands on that second site , proudly displaying three of the walls retained from the burnt church and its western tower. The Christ Church Parish Church is best known for the famous Chase Vault , in which coffins mysteriously move around with the sealed vault.

This is the church said to be rebuilt after the fire of 1935 to a new design. It is built like a fortress , with walls three feet thick. The walls are likely those of the 1830s rebuilding , and the new design relates to the octagonal towers at the Western end. Near to the gate is the famous Chase vault of moving coffins, sadly in a poor state of repair. In the churchyard are the tombs of many famous Barbadians.
