Wallblake House

[1] Although gutted by the French in the late 1790s, it was rebuilt by the British and today has been fully restored, with its kitchen complex, stables and slave quarters intact.

A church in the vicinity contains a stone fascia with open-air side walls and a ceiling, which is the form of a hull of a ship.

However, the French were not successful in their invasion effort as the local Angullians put up a brave fight and were supported by the British ship HMS Lapwing, arriving on the scene at the right time.

After the lease expired, the house was returned to the Roman Catholic Church and currently functions as a rectory.

[9] The original structure was built with dressed stones that were probably brought from East End or even Scrub Island.

The lime mortar for jointing was made from a mixture of burnt coral and shells with admixtures of molasses and marl.

[13] Set behind a white picket fence,[9] Wallblake is now a private house, and living quarters of the priest from St Gerard's Roman Catholic Church.

[13] It also serves as a museum annex,[12] as well as a venue for art shows,[7] flower shops and marriage receptions.
