Brimmer Hall Great House

Parish: St. Mary

 

The Bimmmer Hall Great House was built during the 18th Century by the plantocracy during the days of slavery.

The house is a single story building with glass louvre windows and cooler boxes. The structure has high ceilings, polished wooden floors and a wide verandah. The Great House lies on four to five thousand acres of land which was once a part of four adjoining estates: Tryall, Trinity, Roslyn and Brimmer Hall. All of which was owned by Zachary Bayley.

The Great House is lavishly furnished with original pieces and boasts an exceptional collection of antiques with polished fittings. The floors, ceilings and windows are constructed of native hardwood skillfully hand crafted. There is a master bedroom with a private study and three (3) other bedrooms, a living room and a modern kitchen added.

There still exist six (6) stalls of the former stables which have been converted into shops which boast top quality Jamaican products.
