It was built at the request of Thomas Cottle, a Nevisian lawyer, by the people he had enslaved.
Ground was broken in 1822 and the church was finally finished in 1824, after a severe economic depression.
After Thomas Cottle's death in 1828, the church fell into disuse.
It was then rebuilt by Governor Sir Graham Briggs in the late 19th century, but because of the population decline on the island, the Cottle Church again fell into ruins at the turn of the 20th century.
