Vestry Debates Reveal Inequality

On March 27, 1839, a vestry meeting in St. Joseph highlighted key issues in education, taxation, and parish development, while exposing deep social divisions in colonial Barbados. Concerns were raised about the inefficiency of a parish school serving a small number of students, leading to a decision to send some pupils to a central school in Bridgetown.
