'What mean these stones?'

About this book

"In the 1830s the Scots in Tobago built two Presbyterian churches, known then as 'Scotch kirks'. Only the church in Scarborough, the island's capital, survives, and this book is published to mark its restoration in 2015. Both churches housed schools. The author weaves the story of these church-schools into the story of all the Christian denominations and missions: Anglicans, Methodists, Moravians, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, London Missionary Society and the Mico Charity. The churches and schools were linked to movements in Europe and distant parts of the British Empire. In a readable style, she brings this whole panorama of people and places home to us."
