history

The Nugent estate was originally located here . The Irish Catholic settler family settled in the Bermudian Valley (now Valley Church) from the late 17th century , and Oliver Nugent acquired land outside of Saint John's in 1721. He named his country house Clare Hall ( Hall is an English word for manor house ), after the native County Clare . In 1765 he sold his estate to his son-in-law Robert Skerrett. Nicholas Nugent bought the property back from his nephew John Lynch in 1829, but was based in Lyons in St. Pillip's. The country house itself went to Charles Warner Dunbar and then to Sir C. Bethel Codrington (the school is located there today) as early as 1790, and the farm property was successively parceled out, handed over and built on in the course of the 19th century. The areas close to the city were sold to the island government, where the parliament buildings are today. The Anglican Bishop of Antigua also had his residence here. In 1889 a botanical research station with training facilities was established, as in many British colonies. However, this was moved to the then city limits in Victoria Park as early as 1894 . In the interwar period, a model settlement, Bell Village, was built .

Until the middle of the 20th century, the area was still characterized by rural areas, today it belongs entirely to the urban area of the capital, but is loosely structured.

Infrastructure

Today there is a hospital on site. the Clare Hall & St. Johnson's Village Clinic , the Clare Hall Secondary School , one of the few high schools of the state, as well as a church, Clare Hall Christian Union Church at the city limits.
