Phillippo Baptist Church The Church is named in honour of its first pastor, Reverend James Mursell Phillippo. He was a Baptist missionary who became one of the greatest advocates for Negro Improvement during slavery. Phillippo built the Church to replace an earlier one which was destroyed by fire. The present building dates from 1827. On the Church grounds are buried some of the shackles of slavery of our forefathers. A slab which marks the spot commemorates the 150th year of the Church, November 20, 1968. Phillippo died in 1865 and is buried in the churchyard. There are two tablets in the Church building dedicated to his memory and that of his wife.
