About Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels
The Cathedral Church of Saint Michael and All Angels some time ago The St. Michael's Parish Church, is an Anglican church situated on St. Michael's Row, two squares east of National Heroes Square; at the focal point of Bridgetown, Barbados. The Cathedral is the tallest of the Anglican Church of England's places of love inside Barbados. Originally blessed in 1665, and after that remade in 1789, it was raised to Cathedral status in 1825 with the arrangement of Bishop Coleridge to head the recently made Diocese of Barbados and the Leeward Islands.
The principal ward church to be constructed was the St. Michael's Parish Church, which was found where the St. Mary's Anglican Church presently stands. The first St. Michael's Parish Church was a little wooden church developed somewhere in the range of 1660 and 1665. Crushed by a tropical storm in 1780, the congregation was reconstructed nine years after the fact. The congregation was later harmed in the colossal sea tempest of 1831 yet not crushed.
At the point when the Diocese of Barbados was built up, the St. Michael's Parish Church turned into the St. Michael's Cathedral, with Bishop William Hart Coleridge as its first religious administrator in 1825. The St. Michael Cathedral is made of coral stone with a delightful pinnacle and dazzling recolored glass windows. Inside the congregation is a marble baptismal textual style dating to the seventeenth century. The Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament was included 1938 and highlights a rooftop canvassed in wallaba heartwood shingles and a Canterbury Cross on the northern divider.
