St. Matthew's Anglican Church, Nassau

[4] Reverend Robert Carter, the island's sole clergyman and the rector of Christ Church Cathedral, Nassau, began carrying out services from a house to cater to the needs of the growing population.

[4] By 1796, it was evident that the town's expansion necessitated the construction of a chapel in the Eastern District.

[3][4] When completed in 1802,[5] the church boasted a seating capacity of approximately four hundred and fifty people.

[4] The church held its first service on 18 July 1802,[1][3][4] officiated by the first rector, Reverend Henry Groombridge.

In 1918, the church was temporarily closed as the roof and ceiling were repaired and new organ was also purchased.
